Sherpa Pink Himalayan Salt – Extra-Fine Grain, 5 lbs. | All-Natural, Gluten-Free, No Additives | Perfect for Everyday Cooking & Recipes

Lot for your money, great texture, fine salt with clean taste, good quality ingredients

Just when I was about to give up on trying to find an extra great salt & go back to the Hains salt I've been buying from Whole Foods for years, a friend kept raving so much about pink Himalayan salt that I decided it was worth 1 final try. This Sherpa brand was my hands down favorite & at $6.99 for a 2 lb extra-fine bag with free shipping, it also was the most cost-effective of the many alternatives I looked into. Every person I've shared this salt with raves about it & agrees that it truly is awesome salt, so rich in flavor, beautiful in color & it seems to work great for every type of cooking. I had no idea that such a basic item as salt could be so awesome that I truly am in love with this salt & I so love using it & the rich flavor it adds to everything & its versatility in working so well for every type of cooking I've tried so far including baking. I HAD BEEN SO SCARED TO TRY IT GIVEN SOME AMAZON REVIEWERS QUESTIONING ITS AUTHENTICITY/PURITY &/OR CLAIMED HEALTH BENEFITS + saying that the way it gets mined results in toxic metals being included which would be super harmful in my case given my genetic weakness in handling heavy metals. Fortunately the friend who raved about it is even more sensitive & challenged in those ways thanks to her known methylation gene defect which her 23&Me test showed years ago. So I figured if she's been loving using it for some time now & has had no problems despite her unsusual sensitivity level, it was likely not a problem which indeed proved to be the case for me also as I am so sensitive to toxins or anything harmful that I can usually tell either immediately or very soon after exposure. AS AN EXTRA BENEFIT: I had read that soaking in the pink Himalayan salt can also be great for one's health & helpful for detoxing while being an awesome relaxing & rejuvenating experience. I look forward to trying that out when our California drought ends & plan on experimenting to determine whether Epsom salts &/or baking soda &/or rose petals bring extra benefits worth also adding as I've heard those are all helpful also.

The salt from this company is always top quality. The granules are all consistently sized, the granules are a little bigger than regular table salt, more along the size of Kosher salt. I have found this salt is an excellent substituted for and more flavorful than Kosher salt. I have used this salt for about 5 years and have found it is more versatile than table salt and works very well for all my cooking needs. I use this Himalayan salt just as I would table salt, measuring and using it in equal amount to what recipes call for. I have never had a problem with the salt failing to dissolve in normal cooking, so it has never left a gritty taste or texture when included in a dish. I really like not having to buy Kosher salt or another type of salt to sprinkled on the top or outside of foods. This Sherpa Himalayan Salt works very well when sprinkled on the top or outside of foods such as potatoes for baking (lightly grease the potato skin with Crisco, oil or butter, sprinkle the entire potato skin with Himalayan Salt, then place in the oven or on the grill), grilled steaks and veggies, etc. It also works well to enhance the flavors of fresh fruits and veggies when lightly sprinkled over. I also top many of my baked goods with these delicious crystals. It is adds a wonderful taste and crunch when sprinkled over homemade pretzels, bagels, savory scones and breads. It provides a delightful contrast in flavor and texture when sprinkled over sweet items such as caramels (salted caramels are a popular treat), brownies and even cookies. I love the consistent quality I get with Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt, but I love the taste and versatility it brings to my cooking even more! For me, it is well worth paying a little more for the Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt than for standard table salt. The delicious flavor, consistent quality and size -the slightly larger crystals make this salt more versatile in how it can be used. For me, this means that I do not have to keep 2 or 3 different types of salt on hand to meet my cooking needs, this Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt does everything I need salt to do.

LOVE Himalayan salt! great size! fast delivery! thanks!

Nice colour, fairly small grains.

A little expensive but I love this salt! I use it for cooking as well as in my baths :) Saltier than table & sea salt, so use a little less than usual if switching over.

I discovered a product that is Real salt with all the minerals compared to ordinary salt.

Excellent product,well pleased.quick delivery.
