The Himalayas, the world’s tallest mountains, extend approximately 2,500 kilometers across Asia, along with the border between India and Tibet. Two-hundred-fifty million years ago, when the planet was a pristine ecosystem, a primal sea existed where these iconic mountains now stand.
The Himalayas formed approximately 40-50 million years ago when, due to plate movement, India collided with Eurasia.
As the plates clicked into place, the sea evaporated, and its life-sustaining minerals beautifully crystallized beneath the sun’s rays—forming what is known as Himalayan pink salt. Due to these unique conditions, the purest form of sea salt was produced. Himalayan pink salt is believed to be one of the best sources of natural minerals on earth and gets its pink shade from the high mineral and iron content.
