Enter: Pink Himalayan Salt. This sustainable rock salt contains less sodium than traditional table salt but it still has all of the flavor so you can use it sparingly and it's better on your overall health. The added bonus? It shares 84 minerals with the human body - meaning it helps keep your body restored. 💪
