Himalayan Pink Salt Coarse | 700 g

Himalayan Pink Salt Coarse by Qtrat Al Seha comes in a 700 g pack of unrefined rock salt with large, hand-mill sized crystals, ready to replace refined table salt at the table and in everyday cooking. The coarse grind is what salt grinders are built for, and it is the right texture for rubbing onto meat and vegetables before roasting or grilling. It suits anyone who prefers a natural salt that keeps its pink colour and crystalline structure without refining or added anti-caking agents.

What is Himalayan pink salt?

Himalayan pink salt is a rock salt mined from ancient salt deposits in the foothills of the Himalayas, and chemically it is sodium chloride, the same base as any table salt. Its pink tone comes from trace elements held naturally inside the salt rock, iron oxides above all, which is why the shade varies from crystal to crystal inside a single pack. This pack is milled coarse and packed without bleaching.

Coarse grind versus fine salt

The difference between coarse Himalayan salt and fine salt is crystal size and what that size does in use. A coarse crystal dissolves more slowly on the surface of food, giving a gradual salty note and a texture you can feel when finishing a dish, and it is the only grade a hand grinder can actually mill. Fine salt dissolves instantly and is measured by spoon into dough and sauces. Coarse rock salt also comes without the anti-caking agents usually added to packaged fine salt.

Ways to use coarse Himalayan salt

• Fresh grinding: the crystal size is made for a hand salt mill, ground over the plate just before serving.
• Meat and poultry rubs: worked into the surface before roasting or grilling to build an outer crust and concentrated flavour.
• Roasted vegetables: scattered after cooking so the crystal stays perceptible instead of dissolving away.
• Home salt solutions: dissolved in warm water for a gargle or nasal rinse prepared on professional advice.
• Foot soaks: dissolved in warm water for a simple home soak.

Who is it for?

• Anyone swapping refined table salt for unrefined rock salt in daily cooking.
• Salt-grinder owners who need a coarse pack that lasts.
• Home cooks who grill and need a coarse salt for surface seasoning.
• Households that go through salt quickly and want a 700 g pack.

How to use

Use coarse Himalayan salt exactly as you would table salt: grind it over food before serving, or add it during cooking in the usual amount, to taste. When filling a salt mill, make sure the crystals are completely dry, since moisture sticks the grains together and jams the grinding mechanism. For any home solution, dissolve the measured amount in warm water until no crystals remain.
