pink salt
Himalayan mineral crystals
Pink salt is salt with a distinctive rosy hue, most commonly Himalayan pink salt, which gets its color from trace minerals.
It's sold as a gourmet alternative to regular table salt, though nutritionally the two are nearly identical.
Pink salt also refers to curing salt—a mixture containing sodium nitrite, dyed pink to prevent confusion with regular salt—used to preserve meats like bacon and ham.
