    Pink salt, also known as Himalayan salt, is rock salt mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan. It contains trace minerals like iron, manganese, zinc, calcium, and potassium that give it a pinkish tint. While it is promoted for potential health benefits, there is no evidence that pink salt provides benefits beyond regular table salt. Pakistan can generate significant revenue by exporting pink salt and products made from it due to its high global demand.
