Congrats to Paul of California! He won the HimalaSalt Giveaway. Enjoy it, Paul!
I thoroughly enjoy cooking. There’s something therapeutic about the process now that I cook with as many natural, organic foods as I can. Picking out the right ingredients, searching for the freshest items and the best recipes are all part of the fun for me, right down to the spices. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, everything you add to the recipe makes a difference, either for the good or for the bad–right down to the salt. This most basic ingredient probably gets looked over more than any other one. After all, it’s just salt, right? If you say that, you’ve probably never had the pleasure of experiencing a good, high-quality salt.
HimalaSalt is pink sea salt from the Himalayas. It’s 250 million years old and is more pure than any other salt. In fact, the mineral content (that’s what makes it a beautiful pink) actually restores the alkaline balance in our bodies, a balance very similar to that of the ocean. This is what made it so exciting for me to try. There’s something very “back-to-the-earth” about taking that first taste because you realize just how long this salt has been in preparation and how pure it really is. I have tasted good salts before, and it’s eye opening to find out there’s such a difference. But this? This is seriously good stuff.
You know how impressive I find some companies due to their high ethical and quality standard. Sustainable Sourcing, the company behind HimalaSalt, is just this sort of company. Here is a little about who they are:
HimalaSalt™ is the Purest Salt on Earth™. While there are many pink Himalayan sea salts on the market, HimalaSalt™is the only Ethically Sourced, Artisan Made Himalayan Pink Sea Salt that is Kosher Certified, Green-e Certified (made by 100% renewable wind and solar energy), sustainably packaged, with 5% of profits going to the environment and back to the source community.
Impressed? I sure am! And Sustainable Sourcing wants to give one of you the chance to try their product for free. They’re giving away one Green Gift Kit, which includes their Organic Peppercorn & HimalaSalt Trio. All three are refillable grinders filled with the highest grade organic Himalayan pink sea salt, green peppercorns, and pink peppercorns. They’re beautiful grinders that will make a great finishing touch to a table set for your best recipes. If you want to skip the contest and buy yourself the set, it’s on sale now for $29.75, originally $35.

I found that the pink color intrigued me a bit. So I wanted to know why in the world it was pink. I found a short simple answer and it is because of the the high wholesome minerals inside. How cool is that? Pink Salt? I also really liked the information about Salt it’s self. “Salt is essential to life — we carry a replica of the ancient ocean in our blood. HimalaSalt restores the natural alkaline balance crucial to health and wellbeing.” That’s amazing!

Great stuff! Looks very flavorful and the pink color got me!
I love that color!
I think different kinds of salt are a great way to shake it up!
I never knew there was such a thing as pink salt. I’d love to try the sea salt or the peppercorns. MMMM
Very interesting, I never knew that the darker color salt should not be eaten, too mineral dense.
I find fascinating the benefits from HimalaSalt and that it is great for anti-aging and rids the body of acidic wastes that cause degeneration. I’d love to try this. Thank you for the great contest!
WOW! I would love to try the Zen Cube. I would put that thing on a necklace and use it as a salt lick. =)

Appreciate that they use their own Certified Organic, Kosher Passover production facility.

Iodized salt contains dextrose derived from corn?! I had no idea. And the cube salt looks great.
I like the 100% organic tee in white!
This salt is very intriguing; from its pink colour to the fact that its 100% certified Green! Hubby and I would love to try this! The Zen Cube is fricken awesome!
Great giveaway
I love the HimalaSalt Ceramic Grinder & 6 Tins, its too beautiful to eat!
I’d love to try that Himalayan Zen Cube salt. That looks great. I am sure we would use a lot less salt and it looks so fun.
“It’s also good for your pet.” Thanks for the giveaway!
I learned that Himalayan salt regulates and purifies critical body fluid levels. I also love the zen cube
Only 250 million years old, and it’s still pure! I like that the company uses sustainable sourcing — something I think is very important. Having several serious medical problems, I am always looking for products that will help me maintain or improve health. Thanks for the info on this product.

This is cool.
salt cube is cooll
i love the pink color. great.
i know my wife would love to try pink peppercorns. she is crazy about pink.
If you or your family suffers from food allergies, it’s important to know that HimalaSalt does not contain anti-caking or flow agents, is not heat treated, which destroys essential trace elements, and importantly, is non-iodized. Iodized table salt contains dextrose, which is derived from corn, one of the most common allergens.
This is great to know! As I get older, I seem more sensitive to additives.
I never knew it was good for anti-aging. Or that yoy could not eat darker salts. But I did know that I love PINK. lol. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
I am also subscribed.

i never knew about this stuff at all, kind of interesting
I’ve been wanting to experiment with different salts…count me in!
I think the Himala salt zen cube is very cool. I would love to put that on my table, especially when friends are over.
I never knew people could have allergies to salt. This sounds like one seasoning I cannot live without. I’ve been looking for a sustainable favor for my eco-friendly wedding – with the recycled packaging and 5% of profits to the environment – this is a perfect gift friends and families will love, with a lovely story behind it.

I would love to try the artisan carved HimalaSalt cubes. Very dramatic!
I never knew there was such a thing as pink salt, nor did I know there was any kind of salt in the Himalayas. And the package with the salt and peppercorns together is so pretty.
Thank you for telling us about this product! It looks awesome!!!!
I love how it can help boost your brain power. I also apprecaite that fact that it’s made by 100% Green-e Certified Renewable Wind and Solar Energy, and 5% of the Profits go to the Environment. That is awesome!!!
I would love to try the Zen Cube
I learned that: HimalaSalt is the only pink Himalayan sea salt to be ethically hand harvested, Kosher Passover Certified, made by 100% Green-e Certified Renewable Wind and Solar Energy,
and 5% of the Profits go to the Environment.
Kosher 100% and 100% Green-e Certified. The website is very well done, interesting, easy to navigate and full of really interesting facts.
I learned that HimalaSalt™is perfect for people who want to include salt in their diet, but are aware of the health risks associated with refined table salt, and wary of sea salts from today’s polluted oceans.
Thanks!
I love the idea of a more natural salt. The little grinders with their beautiful colored salts will look great on the counter. I can’t wait to see if they really improve my libido!
