A poster on another thread mentioned stocking up on Himalayan Pink Salt. Is anyone familiar with this salt? And, if so, can you tell me how it is different tasting to regular salt?

Funny, there is a coupon today for this in the newspaper, Morton brand. I have seen it in the supermarkets, just never knew what it is used for and the ad in the paper doesnt say much about it.

I bought the pink and the regular sea salt last year and I will never go back to table salt.

It taste so much better and its just different. I love it!

It's supposed to have health benefits, this link explains it:

I have a grinder of it.  I bought it because it was different.  It's supposed to be a little better for you than regular salt.  To me, salt is salt is salt.  I use a very small about of salt, so I doubt I am getting any benefit.  I don't think there is any taste difference.  Maybe a real cook would wouldn't agree.  LOL

Got the coarse pink salt from Vitacost just for boiling pasta.It makes a huge difference.Once I was out and bought cheap coarse salt in the store,Tha pasta tasted bad.

I was surprised at that too @Bibione. Pasta I made with the  Himalayan salt was much better. I bought a grinder and refill it with coarse salt (small bags they sell at the supermarket).

I think I've had a small grinder of pink salt from TJ years ago - can't remember the exact taste but I knew it didn't taste as salty - eating it by itself.

I now have a larger grinder of sea salt but when I need a tsp or somthing like that, I do use table salt. When that runs out, maybe I'll buy a gridner of pink salt again

have you ever tried flaky sea salt? it is so good on roasted potatoes
