Foodin Himalayan Crystal Salt fine, 350g

Origin and quality

Crystal salt is over 200 million years old salt, hand-mined from the Himalayan mountains. Foodin’s fine crystal salt is a pure, high-quality fine salt powder ground from coarse crystal salt. The salt is completely unprocessed and nothing extra has been added to it.

Taste and use

Because of its beautifully delicate pinkish colour, crystal salt is also known as rose salt. In taste, our crystal salt is mildly soft and aromatic, wonderfully enhancing the flavour of food. Crystal salt is therefore excellent for seasoning sweet treats and baked goods, as well as for use as table salt and in savoury cooking. Pleasantly soft in flavour, crystal salt also works well in drinks.

Seasoning tips

For variety, you can mix different types of salt together. Try combining crystal salt with high-quality sea salt. For variety, you can also add any spices you like, as well as dried herbs such as rosemary, basil, thyme, herbes de Provence or pepper.

Other uses

Crystal salt is produced under fair conditions in Pakistan. Due to the electrical atomic structure of crystal salt, it dissolves in water, forming an electrically conductive solution. This water-crystal salt mixture is called “sole”, which is naturally sterile and is used in wraps, for skin exfoliation and for rinsing the nose and mouth. Crystal salt is also a popular ingredient in neti pots and in steam inhalation mixed with hot water, as well as in cosmetics and various “do-it-yourself” products such as exfoliating scrubs.
