Salt is undoubtedly one of the basic human needs. Talking about edible salt, it is the purest form in which the
table salt exists. Found in abundance in the Himalayan Salt Range of Pakistan, it provides a certain ease in the
processing that it can be carved into various sizes. The extraction of edible salt began in the 19th century.
Since then, the Himalayan Salt Range has been the center of attention for a large population. At the time of
extraction, the edible salt is found in red or light pink color. However, some transparent or white crystals can
also be seen.
In addition, the edible salt is the purest form of salt because of the percentage of sodium being the highest
in it. The primary use of edible salt is in cooking but several products are also manufactured from it. It is
further categorized into pink salt, white salt and black salt which are used to serve multiple health requirements.
