HOW TO USE
Use pink salt to season savory and sweet dishes, enhance natural flavors, or balance sweetness and acidity. Sprinkle over salads, grains, vegetables, legumes, baked goods, and plant-based cheeses. Dissolve in tonics, elixirs, or fermented beverages to support mineral intake and energetic balance.

STORING
Store in a dry, airtight container away from moisture. Avoid using metal utensils for prolonged contact to preserve mineral quality.

SUBSTITUTIONS
Sea salt, Celtic salt, kosher salt, or other unrefined mineral salts depending on texture and flavor preference.

HEALTH BENEFITS

CONCERNS
Use in moderation to avoid excessive sodium intake. Avoid iodized or heavily processed salts that may dilute mineral content and energetic properties.

HISTORY
Pink salt has been harvested for millennia from ancient sea beds, celebrated across cultures for its purity, mineral content, and restorative qualities. From finishing dishes to medicinal uses, it embodies the rhythm and energy of the earth itself.
