I picked up a packet of the Black, and a packet of the Pink. Going to use
some tonight with the smashed potatos, steamed whole green beans, and
roughly chopped steamed carrots....... all to accompany the free range
roast chook that's about to go into the benchtop convection oven.

My sister is really enjoying the pink I bought her. Never seen the black
in Himalayan, just Hawaiian. It's kinda ashy when I tasted it so I
don't purchase it...

A local restaurant once served us a dessert of olive-oil ice cream with a
few big grains of black Hawaiian salt. It was surprisingly good. (Of course,
you need a very fragrant olive oil to make that work!)

I used both when preparing dinner the last 2 nights. The Black is fantastic
on smashed potatoes, and the pink is great sprinkled on steamed veges.

I just wonder what chemicals are in those salts with hues other than
white/clear. I know a bit about chemistry, and I know what color NaCl
crystals are, and they are nothing but colorless, so whatever's in
those salts is NOT NaCl!

And I also wonder what their health effects are.

No chemicals, just minerals.

HIMALAYAN CRYSTAL SALT

*

Is natural and pristine
*

Free of contaminants
*

Has a natural crystalline structure to easily absorb and
metabolise
*

Contains 84 trace minerals found in the human body

For thousands of years, salt has been known as the panacea alchemists
call ‘the 5th Element”, In addition to water, earth, fire and air – salt
was comparable to ether, the actual 5th element.

Such is the case with Himalayan Crystal Salt, by far the purest salt
available on earth and utterly uncontaminated with toxins or pollutants.

The mineral content of the salt helps our bodies to

*

Regulate and balance water content in our system
*

Reduce acidity in the cells
*

Balance blood sugar levels
*

Promote hydroelectric energy in the cells
*

Aid food absorption in the intestine
*

Help clear sinus congestion
*

Help strengthen bones with the extra calcium content
*

Help regulate sleep
*

Help improve circulation

These are just some of the benefits to be gained from switching to a
diet of fresh foods and Himalayan Crystal Salt.

This very precious salt is undeniably the best salt nature has to offer.
Its crystalline structure, is natural and unprocessed totally free of
chemicals and pollutants.

The pink has a slightly tart finish to it on the back of the tongue so
is appropriate for veggies and fish. What do you taste in the black? I
may have to google for it out of curiosity. :-)

As is "Real Salt".

Trace minerals replace the ones we no longer get in our food due to
depleted farming soils using only chemical fertilizers.

Okie doke....... well it has something like 82 trace minerals in it.

But from Jonh's 'tone'.... I think he was suggesting about added
chemicals.

Sounds like pure ******** to me, but then most marketing does.

It's salt. You can get your minerals by eating dirt, too.

LOL!! Remind me to look very closely at any food if you ever happen to
serve some to me ;-)


But on that subject of salt, I don't use Iodised salt (like Saxa table
salt) anymore..... it tastes too "chemically" for me.

Salt IS a chemical, sodium chloride to be precise.

Of course chemically, there exists many many salts. ;-)

John Kuthe...

All the minerals contribute slightly to the color, but more specifically it's Iron that creates the pleasant pink color.

Dunno, but it's a helluva lot stronger in flavour than the Pink.

[/quote]

I'm not sure how much iron is in the Hawaiian black sea salt, but that color comes from the lava stone it's evaporated with, and then the addition of charcoal.
Water filters always sell themselve by claiming to remove charcoal, but in small amounts, it's very healthy for you and digestion.
Personally I don't like to cook with the black sea salt but it does have a nice flavor.
The Himalayan Pink should be in everyones salt grinders at this point. No more table salt!

I've never seen a water filter advertised to remove charcoal. I've seen
many of them though that have activated charcoal odor absorbing elements.

I thought Boron was the actual fifth element. Or was that Mila Jovovich?

It may be the best nature has to offer but I'd bet a dinner out that
Morton's has less crap in it.

My parents take coliodal minerals and it's been very good for their
health. I take supplements as a belt-and-suspenders plan - I figure I
get enough variety in food that I should get all the nutrients I need
but I also figure that modern farming leaches out enough minerals and
breeds for production not vitamins so I never know how much
micronutrients I am missing from my foods.

Pink salt puzzles me. Usually when salt crystals form the process does
a reasonable job of purification. Salt from mines is closer to pure
sodium chloride than what is claimed for the pink salt. Some minerals
have low solubility so they come out of solution and are mostly gone
before the sodium chloride starts to come out of solution. Some
minerals have high solubility so they come out of solution after most of
the sodium chloride is gone. That makes the sodium chloride of regular
salt more pure than is claimed for the pink salt. How would such a salt
that still has the trace minerals be formed naturally?

It is formed naturally in different areas. Just like quartz colored
other than pure clear or white has other minerals in it.

Personally, I'm more interested in the variations in flavor. I purchase
