Deep within the majestic mountains of northern Pakistan lies one of Earth’s most remarkable treasures Himalayan pink salt. This ancient mineral, formed over 250 million years ago, is not just another kitchen ingredient. It’s a natural wonder, rich in essential minerals, color, and history. At The Crux, we bring this gift of nature to homes, spas, and industries across the world, ensuring unmatched purity and quality in every grain.
Where It All Begins The Himalayan Origin
The story of Himalayan salt starts in the Khewra Salt Mines, located in the foothills of the Salt Range in Punjab, Pakistan. These mines are among the oldest and largest in the world, producing thousands of tons of salt each year. The unique pink hue of the salt is derived from trace elements such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, all of which have been naturally preserved over millennia.
Unlike industrially refined table salt, Himalayan pink salt is hand-mined and minimally processed, keeping its natural mineral composition intact. This makes it one of the purest salts on Earth, untouched by pollution or artificial additives.
The Mineral Powerhouse 80+ Essential Elements
Himalayan salt contains over 80 trace minerals, making it a nutrient-rich alternative to regular salt. These minerals play a vital role in maintaining electrolyte balance, hydration, and muscle function. Some key components include:
- Calcium: Strengthens bones and teeth
- Magnesium: Aids in muscle relaxation and metabolism
- Iron: Enhances red blood cell production.
- Potassium:Helps regulate blood pressure
By replacing your table salt with Himalayan pink salt, you’re introducing your body to a natural source of essential minerals that promote overall well-being.
