This Himalayan Salt contains 84 minerals from an ancient ocean. The Himalayan mountains formed on top of these salt deposits locking in the purity transforming it into a crystalline state. Our bodies absorb these minerals immediately feeding our cells the nutrients they need.The best way to get these minerals is to make Sole', which is the Himalayan rock chunks soaked in water creating a brine of 26% salt. Taking a tea spoon of this brine every day will give your body the necessary minerals needed daily. Like water, our body uses and needs minerals every day. Fine ground Himalayan crystal salt granule is primarily used in cooking, or as table salt. Our gourmet Himalayan salt is used in grinders, for those who want freshly ground Himalayan crystal salt, and can also be used for bathing.
