Sherpa Pink Himalayan Salt – Extra-Fine Grain, 1 lb. | All-Natural, Gluten-Free, No Additives | Perfect for Everyday Cooking & Recipes

One of the great things about Amazon for people like me who live in small towns is that it provides easy access to all sorts of ingredients that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. In this case, I was able to procure some pink Himalayan salt in a large quantity at a reasonable price. The salt has a nice crunch to it and a nice mineral profile that extends beyond mere salt. It's hard to describe, but it's slightly earthy (in a good way--I promise) and it doesn't have that slight iodine aftertaste you get from regular table salt. The uses for this salt are endless. One of my favorites is to get some of my favorite meat (beef tenderloin, etc.) and set in the fridge overnight after I've done a salt rub using this salt. It draws out a bit of the moisture and penetrates the meat. The result is even more tender, tastier steak/roast, etc. This is a wonderful, affordable indulgence. I highly recommend it.

My daughter-in-law recommended this salt to me. She is a doctor and she was intrigued by the health benefits some claim for this product. She started using this a few months ago and believes some of the health benefits are real as they have seen a real improvement in my sons' asthma even though this has been a bad year for the pollens that usually bother him and he has not changed anything else. I have an auto-immune disease and some of the people that belong to the support group I am a member of have also recommended this salt saying they have seen health benefits from using this. I started using it as soon as my shipment arrived and I think it has a great taste. It contains all the minerals that should be in regular table salt but have been removed through processing. These are minerals we all need for optimum health, so using this salt is an easy, safe way to get these minerals into your diet. Regular table salt has virtually no nutritional value at all. I will continue to use this pink Himalayan salt and I would recommend it to anyone. I believe it is a better alternative for people who are trying to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

I am sure this is good for some people. It is finely ground like table salt. However, I cannot use it, because it is too strong for me, and as with other types of sea salts, it causes rectal bleeding in me. I am probably a rare person who is very sensitive. SO I am not putting the product down. It is an excellent product. However, if someone is sensitive to other types of sea salt, they will be sensitive to this one too. I would also caution anyone who has hemorrhoids, to be careful when using sea salts of any kind, as they may cause bleeding, which is what happened to me. When using any kind of sea salt, us only a little bit first to see your reaction. Do not use this the way you use table salt. You only need a very little bit of this salt, compared to the quantity of table salt that you shake on food. It is unfortunate for me, that I can't use it, because of a hemorrhoid and my sensitivity to all sea salts. I thought I would try this, thinking it would be different for me. I would still recommend this sea salt, for those who are not as sensitive to sea salts as I am. I really think out of all the sea salts, that this is the best brand, and it has ultra fine crystals, which are the equivalent size of table salt, which is really great. Regards

Purchased this gourmet "extra fine" salt to replace my existing, cheap supermarket salt. My first observation is on the grain size. This product is coarser than regular salt. It's closer to beach sand in size. It's also more uneven, running from powder to coarse grains. See photo attached to review of this product compared with regular table salt. This I discovered when I used the salt shaker and found the amount being dispensed was not in proportion to the amount of shaking. Mostly the powder and fine grains came out. While the coarse grains do fit through the hole, unless they are lined up, they come out at a slower rate. Thus, the grains that come out of the shaker isn't reflective of what is inside the shaker. I ended up drilling larger holes in my salt shaker top to fix this, which may or may not be an option for you. Now I am happy with the dispense rate. The next issue is that the powder sticks to the outside top of the salt shaker. This I noticed after a couple days of using it. I typically shake the salt out at a 45 degree angle to control the flow. Some of the salt cascades down the top of the shaker, and the powder is too light to overcome the friction at that angle. And there you have it, a salt shaker with a powdered top. So now I have to wipe the top clean every so often. A little cosmetic inconvenience. As far as the product itself, it tastes like regular salt. I do notice the larger crystals when shaken on food just prior to eating. It's a slight, salty crunch that I like. I find that they add a little flavor pop to the meal. A side note: While vendor offers "extra fine" and "fine" grain levels as documented in one of their product listing photos. This isn't reflected on the product itself. No where on the actual package does it say "extra fine" or "fine". They also use the same photo in both listings, and in those photos it doesn't show the grain size on the package either. I suspect that if you purchased the "fine" and "extra fine" products, you'd get the same exact product - an uneven, powder to fine grain salt that won't work properly in all regular salt shakers. Side note #2: Some others have complained about sand / particulate matter in the product. There is a disclaimer on the package, which you can read on the back in fine print if you zoom in on the product photo. Spoiler alert: It does contain insoluble mineral deposits. I like the actual product, I just think that it could be more accurately described in the listing to let people make an informed choice. The fine / extra-fine mystery is not cool either.

We can all tell the difference since we started using only pink Himalayan salt. I make a sole out of this salt. there are tons of recipes online and they all explain how to make and how to take and all the benefits which I just listed above. My health and skin has greatly changed for the better since using this salt so I will never go back to regular table salt. I keep a small jar of it in my purse and diaper bag for when we eat out. We ask for no salt on our food and salt it ourselves.. make a difference

It was suggested by my dr that I try Pink Salt. I had no idea what it was, let alone where to get it or what it would taste like. So I found it here. I was told that the salt I was buying in the store, I would have to stop eating because it was salt, taken out of the ground, bleached, and stripped of all minerals and such, and then synthetic minerals & iodine was added...my body couldn't handle what was being added. So,it was try this, or stop eating salt. I LOVE this! It's so much better than salt. It takes exactly the same except more flavorful...so I don't need as much. Even my husband who is not a real salt eater loves it as well and started using itt. Yes, its very fine and shakes right out of any shaker. The only difference is its packed with all kinds of natural minerals that I'm handling just fine, and its pink. My father, who was told no salt for heart purposes is able to eat this salt as well. He's a happy camper! :)

Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt - 1 lb. Bag Extra-Fine Grain is fine tasting. it is super fine like dust. But I like it. I have not found any other stuff like dirt or grainy things like some other people have written about in other versions of salt. I bought this because of the value and wanted to try one that was not so coarse. Even though I could have ground it up in a salt grinder, I wanted to try this one and was surprised how lovely it tastes. I use it for cooking and as a final or what some call finishing salt. Not an expert on salt but I do recommend trying it. I will definitely buy again!

I love Himalayan salt, and have used it for years. I ordered this package and wondered what in the Do Dah Day I had bought?! I tasted it, and it was fine, I looked at the label, and it was, indeed, Pink Himalayan Salt, but it was like fairy dust! To be honest, only this minute, weeks after buying it, am I figuring out what happened: I didn't read the label correctly. This is Extra-Fine Grain. How in the Zippity-Do-Dah (I never talk like this... somebody snap their fingers in front of my face) did I not see that? So I'm here to tell you, if you want beautifully refined Himalayan Sea Salt, this is your go-to!
