Himalayan Pink Salt: How is it Made?

This factory can produce around 300 metric tons of Himalayan pink salt. Originating from caves in hardworking Pakistan, this rock undergoes massive production and is then exported to various countries.

Himalayan salt, which can include different types such as dark and black salt, serves a multitude of purposes, from making sole water and enhancing our cooking to crafting unique lamps. People integrate it into their health routines and spiritual practices, like meditation, believing it can aid conditions such as cystic fibrosis. However, concerns linger about its safety, with some worrying about potential dangers or radioactivity.

Explore this journey tracing the lifecycle of Himalayan pink salt, from its initial production in the hardworking caves of Pakistan to its eventual export worldwide.

Millions of years old but expires in a few months once bottled 😂

It looks good and cozy, and you can easily get the daily recommended amount of many trace minerals with all the health benefits if you only eat half a salt lamp every day!

Sad part is that contractors from some countries have been purchasing vast quantiles of this salt from Pakistan on very old signed contracts for few Rupees/Kg and then sell it in western and rich countries at over 50 times of the purchase price under their own country’s name. This salt is still sold for few Rupees/Kg in Pakistan

Advertiser: We select only the highest quality rock
Workers: whatever. I just grab the one next to me and call it a day
amazing how much we can dramatize these simple rocks

The Khewra Salt Mine, second largest in the world. It gets 250, 000 tourist visitors every year. They produce 350, 000 tons of 99% halide a year, most of it exported in bulk (or used to be) and it was processed in other countries (mostly India). The mine has an estimated reserve between 82 million and 600 million tons so they are not going to run short anytime soon.

Himalayan salt grains have truly beautiful colors! It's amazing!

[DockNinja]

So grateful that I don’t have to work a job where I’m constantly hammering rocks for 12 or more hours a day for next to nothing

[hermionegardener]

No protective eyewear, that one guy leaned over the salt block right next to the large spinning blade, just one bump and he'd fall right into it.

[tonioyendis]

Horse was like, boss you really should come over here and taste this rock!

[Audumbar_Kashid]

Discovered by Alexander ...i think people in that area was already using that

[asutoshpanda]

Yes you can correct Alexander discovered Himalayan Salt. But in India we are using it from the last 5000 years.

The glass container is the best one keeping heat and sunlight away from the trace minerals.

일반인들은 그 사실을 모릅니다. 독극물로 알려진 화학원소가 히말라야 소금에 들어 있으면 독극물 소금으로 인식합니다.
히말라야 소금에 들어 있는 독극물 화학원소는 WHO기준치 이내의 미네랄 양으로써 인체 건강에 도움을 줍니다.
일례로 비소 같은것도 기준치 이내의 양은 미네랄로서 인체 건강에 도움을 줍니다.
비소 양이 기준치를 넘겼을 때 독극물로서 작용을 하는것입니다.

I love how the video talks about maintaining purity when this salt is probably the least pure salt out there. I wonder how long the harvest of 300 tons a day is sustainable. There is only a finite amount of this pink salt left. Personally, I prefer to use pure sea salt without 80 different impurities.

[sofiatgarcia]

Incredible health benefits...yeah, right.

[bgifarmus]

I just watched a fascinating farming documentary that highlighted the challenges and innovations in modern agriculture

[monoshock]

The only salt I have ate for over 5 years.. And I eat a lot of it. 66 years old here.

[positiveorientationone]
