FAQs

Q: Is Himalayan black salt better than regular salt?
A: Black salt differs from regular table salt in the way it’s made and the way it tastes. Many black salts are made synthetically from a combination of sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium bisulfate, and ferric sulfate. The salt is then mixed with charcoal and heated before the final product is ready. Alternatively, regular table salt — the kind you find in your salt shaker — is highly processed and refined, meaning most of the trace minerals are removed.

Q: What is the difference between Himalayan black and pink salt?
A: Himalayan salt is pink in color due to the presence of iron components. Basically, the black salt composition comprises sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, iron sulfide, sodium sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and sodium bisulfite.
