Is it really salt and if yes, is it from the Himalayas?

As far as I know, according to description when you order it, yes it is made from Himalayan Salt Mines. No two are alike. I'm very happy with my purchase.

It is really salt (in fact I have to keep my little grandson from licking it when he visits). Obviously I can't prove it's from the Himalayas, but it looks similar to the Himalayan salt I buy for cooking. I have ordered two lamps so far and although both are similar to the one shown here, all three are very different in areas of shading. One of my lamps is like a pale coral pink and the other is a swirl mixture of deeper pink/coral orange. Both are beautiful.

Like others have said, it is hard to describe. Some will like it others will not. It is salt SUBSTITUTE after all and not salt so it will not taste exactly like salt. Personally I like it and find it a nice pleasant seasoning. Being on dialysis I must limit sodium and potassium so it works well for me with the advantage of liking the taste. I especially like it on my eggs in the morning.

According to the Andersons, no it is not. It comes from the Great Salt Lake. Making sole is not the equivalent.

The box just states it is "Sea Salt" and no other information is provided. My best guess would be it is Olde Thompson Sea Salt which may be purchased through them, and several other retailers. It is very mild but not terribly distinctive. I have had this mill for at least 7 years and used many different salts of differing textures and moisture content without any issues.

Here is a link that has alot of technical data: https://www.google.com/search?q=salt+comparison+values&rlz;=1C1GGGE_enUS432US448&es;pv=2&biw;=1719&bih;=831&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&sour;ce=univ&sa;=X&ei;=njo2VZq5L-jdsATIhYD4Dg&ve;d=0CCMQsAQ Not sure if this is too much info but way down the chart compares celtic salt with himalayan and table salt. Happy hunting!

It has a strong sent of lavender. I took it in error. Would have much preferred the pure salt.

This product is unrefined. It is less salty then regular salt. It has a wonderful flavor, and has I think 7 natural minerals that are good for the health of your body. I love it and use it all the time.

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

Alll I can say is there is: 47% Magnesium Chloride by weight and naturally occurring crystalline water as stated on the bag. Way different than Epsom Salts in effectiveness.

The mix can contain copper and other minerals, all are listed in the package. I don't have the paperwork anymore, or I would list all the minerals. I don't believe salt is one of them.

It is chunk salt...but I don't know the origin...it didn't say. It is an excellent grinder. I use sea salt in it.

Great questions. We have been importing Dead Sea Salt for over 12 years and are one of the largest importers of genuine Dead Sea Salt in the U.S.A. We stand by our products 100% and certify our Minera Dead Sea Salt to be authentic. We do this by backing up with all the import paperwork, batch testing done in Israel, invoices etc. You can find more info on our website along with our technical data sheet. All orders shipped from our website receive a certificate of authenticity. Unfortunately though, Amazon does not allow us to add extra paperwork in along with our shipments :( But you can rest assured it is the same product we sell on our website.

I have no idea but I would not recommend this product as a Salt Substitute. It doesn't taste anything like salt. I believe that the ad does contain a list of ingredients somewhere in the ad. I wish I had read this before I wasted my money on it.

This is mined, pink Himalayan salt. Naturally occurring minerals give it a pink color, but otherwise it is pure NaCl carved out of the mountains.

I don't know because the product was at an Early Years Centre, not in my home. But I can tell you that if you put salt on your hand, and then rub the salt into your hand, the salt does not feel sharp as if it is digging and ripping into your skin like this product. Also when the sand is poured, some of the particles go into the air. So some of the particles must be quite small.

Well Michael B. it states Kosher and Natural Certified. The Spice Lab sources the finest quality 100% natural salt, hand-mined deep within the Himalayan Mountains. These are comments from the package and website. Recommend you check their site and speak with them for more peace of mind. Very happy with my purchase and would purchase from thespicelab again. Also check other answers like from Dave Power..!!

To the best of my knowledge, it is the real deal, but I would question if any such product, natural ground material, is completely pure, merely close. For example, natural salt is not completely pure, yet praised for its mineral impurities as well. I have no reason to believe this product is any different. Since I'm using mine for chickens outside, it is not an issue. Best of luck with the product.
