In our mineral wholesale business, health food shops, organic food stores, natural food stores and all other businesses can find an extensive range of natural crystal salt from the foot of the Himalayas. For room decoration, we offer a wide range of salt lamps and salt tea lights made from salt crystals. We deliberately do not use the misleading name Himalayan salt, as Salt for Cooking and chunks are not mined directly in the Himalayas. But this is what the name Himalayan salt suggests.
Origin of the crystal salt from Lapis Vitalis
The Alexander salt is quarried with the utmost care in the salt mines of Pakistan's Salt Range. The Salt Range is located in the north-east of Pakistan (Punjab province), about 160 km from Islamabad and 260 km from Lahore. The salt mines around Kehwra are located in a foothill of the Himalayas, but are not directly associated with the Himalayan massif. Alexander salt is therefore also known commercially as Himalayan salt. As the salt is mined underground in salt mines and not extracted from seawater, it is rock salt and not sea salt.
Mining and treatment of rock salt
The mined Alexander salt is sorted, washed, ground to various grain sizes, checked for quality and bottled by hand in Pakistan. You only buy pure, natural crystal salt (sodium chloride) from us, which contains no iodine or other ingredients, additives or additives.
Use of crystal salt
The natural salt from Lapis Vitalis is characterized by its high quality, very good taste and many possible uses. The effect of Salt for Cooking on health and the body is aptly described by the phrase "The dose makes the poison!". If you consume too much salt, your metabolism suffers and with it your health. If food is seasoned with the right amount of salt, it has a positive effect on the whole body and is an important part of a natural, healthy diet. As well as being used to season food, the preparation of brine with water, salt baths with Alexander salt and the installation of salt lamps are also popular.
Minerals in natural salt
In addition to sodium and chloride, Lapis Vitalis salt contains other minerals and trace elements. The most important minerals include potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. The pink color of the salt lumps is caused by natural iron, which is naturally localized in rock salt. Natural crystal salt with smaller crystals does not look pink, but white.
Alexander salt, Himalayan salt and other names
Halite, or salt, is a simple compound of the elements sodium and chlorine in a ratio of 1:1 and is formed by the leaching of water-soluble substances from rocks. The trade names Salt for Cooking, rock salt, crystal salt, Alexander salt, Himalayan salt, rock salt, sea salt or Halite all refer to the same substance, only in different forms, with the chemical name sodium chloride (NaCl). The misleading names Himalayan salt and Hunza salt (after the Hunza valley) have become established for the pink salt from Pakistan.
