Had a client just gift me an entire jar of coarse Himalayan Pink Salt. It's kind of weirding me out...

Is there anything specific I can do with this stuff outside of just using it as regular coarse salt?

It's just coarse pink salt. You can use as a finishing salt on dishes where the color might be interesting, or use it in a salt grinder if it is very coarse.

I also received these giant hunks of pink salt with a salt grater. It could be a cool finish to some dishes tableside or something, not really sure what to make that looks good with pink on it though.

I have a sample of some Himalayan salts that someone gave me for Xmas one year. The pink one is OK, but not great. There's a brown salt that tastes like straight sulfur, rotten eggs. It's awful.

Make chocolate cookies or fudge and add some pink salt.

We use it in lieu of regular salt at my house although what we buy is a fine grind.

I use it to kill snails. It’s very effective.

We buy it in a grinder, and you do not see it as pink once it touches the food.

That's the salt you use for roadkill animals you cook when you find Him-a-layin in the road.

I throw it in my unicorn salt grinder. It’s good.

It's salt, use it accordingly...

Not real sure but my mother in law gave me one of those big slabs of Himalayan salt that you are supposed to cook on. I put it in the woods behind my house. I was back there the other day and the deer have dug out a pretty deep hole where I left it. They seem to really enjoy it. What you have probably wouldn’t work like that because of the small quantity. Squirrels might like it though.

I know the slabs you're talking about and that is honestly the only use I'd find for this pink salt.

Real pink salt is salt from volcano mines. It's taste is different, but it's main benefit is that it is loaded with healthy minerals.

Most pink salt sold in stores is fake shite with dye.

I have real pink salt, and I use it on salads or any other food in which I want a bit of a salt crunch. Really it's a specialty thing that you won't use much. I brought mine back with me from Hawaii 6 years ago, and I still have it

That reminds me: I got one as a gift too. I need to get it out of the kitchen and stick in in my "presents" stash so I can put it in the White Elephant gift exchange next year.

Mix it with equal parts baking soda, pour it in a big bathtub and soak in it. It detoxes and deodorizes the skin.

That’s a good tip to get rid of this stuff in bulk. Thanks
