Himalania is an unrefined salt that comes from in the Himalayan Mountains at altitudes of over 10,000 feet! This is a fossil marine salt and is rich in many minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper and Iron which gives the salt its beautiful speckled pink color. Once a year, in the springtime, the salt is transported down from the mountains to the Nepalese valleys by caravans of yaks. This is the principle income for the mountain peoples of the area. Each canister comes packaged with a little wooden spoon. Cases come packed in a convenient display box. This salt makes a great gift.
