12 Incredible Things That Happen When You Swap Table Salt for Himalayan Sea Salt

Himalayan salt originates from Himalayan Mountain which stretches through Asia (India, China, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Bhutan, and Afghanistan). Millions of years ago there were crystallized sea salt beds that stretched across the range of the mountain, which was covered with lava.

Due to the fact that the mountain is constantly covered by ice and snow, it helped preserve the salt from pollution. As a result of that this salt is the purest on the planet. The extraction of it is done by manually mining directly from these mountains.

This purest form of salt contains high amount of minerals and energy-rich iron which makes it appear red, pink and white. As a result of this natural formation, the vitamins and minerals bond with sodium through synergy. Himalayan salt contains more than 80 elements and minerals. The main mineral crystals that it contains are sodium chloride 85.62%, whereas the remaining 14.38% are other traces of minerals such as bromide, fluoride, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, potassium, borate and strontium.

Also this salt contains high amount of natural iodine so it does not require artificial additions.
Himalayan salt contains almost the same components as table salt, but it contains less sodium per serving. This is due to the fact that sea salt crystals or flakes require less room on a teaspoon than the table salt grains.
