Pink salt?

A friend of my mom's gave us some of the Himalayan pink rock salt. We don't really use it, as it just seems like expensive table salt to me.

I don't think it's got many visible benefits, besides the fact that it's pink, which makes it super cute and would probably make a good garnish on a margarita glass at a baby shower for a little girl :laugh:

Anyway, does anyone have any idea as to what
It should be use for? And are there any benefits? Or is it just touted as a "healthy food"?

    I only use rock salt (sea salt) like the pink salt...supposedly it contains minerals that your body actually needs. Ive accustomed a taste for it....

    Hmm, I guess that makes sense. I've heard that about sea salt, but I've also heard that argument was disproven and somewhat of a given

    And it's missing iodine in most brands, so if you never use iodized salt, make sure you're eating foods with sufficient iodine in them for your thyroid health.

    I love the pink salt! Tastes better than regular salt to me - maybe it's the bigger crystals.

    I understand that it is less processed and contains many more minerals and trace elements than standard salt, I think you will find that it naturally contains iodine.

    Pink salt contains trace minerals, and it's unprocessed "raw salt" it's rich in Iodine that naturally occurs.
    That's why 'they' began adding iodine in table salt

    I've even found that when using regular table salt I am more dehydrated than when I use pink salt.
    Choose pink salt over table salt any day.
