Light Pink Crystal Salt, coarse 2–5 mm

Product description

This pink crystal salt from the Salt Range in Pakistan is a natural rock salt with delicately shimmering light pink crystals in a coarse 2–5 mm grain. It is ideal as table salt for refillable grinders and as a decorative gourmet salt in the kitchen.

As an untreated natural rock salt, Biova has it only mechanically crushed, washed and gently dried, with no chemical additives or refining. The uniform grain size ensures precise dosing and reliable quality for bulk users.

In everyday cooking you can use this crystal salt for seasoning at the table, for brines and saline solutions, or for decorative plating on dishes and buffets. Thanks to its coarse grain, it is particularly suitable for mills, foodservice, artisan producers and other professional users of Biova rock salts.

Origin

The rock salt comes from the Salt Range in Punjab Province, Pakistan, around 200 kilometres southwest of the Himalayas. The deposits are known for their consistently high purity and the stable, delicately pink hue of the crystal salt.

Production

This natural rock salt is mined in open-cast and underground operations from solid rock salt veins. After extraction it is crushed for Biova, graded by particle size, sieved to a coarse 2–5 mm granulate, washed and gently dried.

Special features

Its characteristic feature is the natural pink to light pink colour caused by iron oxide, which gives the salt its decorative appearance. As a coarse rock salt granulate it is particularly suitable for grinders, for bulk supply to processors and as a decorative gourmet salt in food applications.

Origin and processing compared

Unlike sea salt or evaporated salt, this crystal salt is not obtained from water but mined directly from fossil deposits. The largely mechanical processing without chemical refining preserves the original structure and sets it apart from refined table salt.

Taste & aroma

On the palate it offers a mild, clean saltiness without intrusive off-flavours. The pink rock salt tastes less harsh than some highly refined table salts and is neutral in aroma, so it supports rather than masks the natural flavour of your ingredients.

Suggested uses

• For filling salt and spice grinders for everyday use at the table
