Rock salt, also known as halite or Himalayan salt, is a mineral-rich salt harvested from salt mines or extracted from salt deposits found in rock formations. Unlike table salt, which is heavily processed and refined, rock salt is typically less processed and retains more of its natural mineral content. It ranges in color from white to pink to red, depending on the minerals present in the salt deposits. One of the distinguishing features of rock salt is its texture, which is coarser than table salt due to larger crystal sizes. This coarse texture makes rock salt ideal for use in salt grinders or mills, allowing individuals to freshly grind the salt as needed to season dishes. Additionally, the larger crystals of rock salt provide a satisfying crunch when used as a finishing salt on salads, grilled meats, or other dishes.

Rock salt is often used in cooking and food preparation for its unique flavor and texture. It can be used to season meats, vegetables, and soups during cooking, imparting a subtle saltiness and enhancing the overall flavor of the dish. Because of its mineral content, rock salt may also add subtle earthy or mineral notes to food, contributing to its complexity. In addition to its culinary uses, rock salt has several other applications. It is commonly used as a natural alternative to chemical de-icing agents on roads and sidewalks during winter months.
