Just when I was about to give up on trying to find an extra great salt & go back to the Hains salt I've been buying from Whole Foods for years, a friend kept raving so much about pink Himalayan salt that I decided it was worth 1 final try. This Sherpa brand was my hands down favorite & at $6.99 for a 2 lb extra-fine bag with free shipping, it also was the most cost-effective of the many alternatives I looked into. Every person I've shared this salt with raves about it & agrees that it truly is awesome salt, so rich in flavor, beautiful in color & it seems to work great for every type of cooking. I had no idea that such a basic item as salt could be so awesome that I truly am in love with this salt & I so love using it & the rich flavor it adds to everything & its versatility in working so well for every type of cooking I've tried so far including baking.

I HAD BEEN SO SCARED TO TRY IT GIVEN SOME AMAZON REVIEWERS QUESTIONING ITS AUTHENTICITY/PURITY &/OR CLAIMED HEALTH BENEFITS + saying that the way it gets mined results in toxic metals being included which would be super harmful in my case given my genetic weakness in handling heavy metals. Fortunately the friend who raved about it is even more sensitive & challenged in those ways thanks to her known methylation gene defect which her 23&Me test showed years ago. So I figured if she's been loving using it for some time now & has had no problems despite her unsusual sensitivity level, it was likely not a problem which indeed proved to be the case for me also as I am so sensitive to toxins or anything harmful that I can usually tell either immediately or very soon after exposure.

AS AN EXTRA BENEFIT: I had read that soaking in the pink Himalayan salt can also be great for one's health & helpful for detoxing while being an awesome relaxing & rejuvenating experience. I look forward to trying that out when our California drought ends & plan on experimenting to determine whether Epsom salts &/or baking soda &/or rose petals bring extra benefits worth also adding as I've heard those are all helpful also.

The salt from this company is always top quality. The granules are all consistently sized, the granules are a little bigger than regular table salt, more along the size of Kosher salt. I have found this salt is an excellent substituted for and more flavorful than Kosher salt. I have used this salt for about 5 years and have found it is more versatile than table salt and works very well for all my cooking needs. I use this Himalayan salt just as I would table salt, measuring and using it in equal amount to what recipes call for. I have never had a problem with the salt failing to dissolve in normal cooking, so it has never left a gritty taste or texture when included in a dish. I really like not having to buy Kosher salt or another type of salt to sprinkled on the top or outside of foods. This Sherpa Himalayan Salt works very well when sprinkled on the top or outside of foods such as potatoes for baking (lightly grease the potato skin with Crisco, oil or butter, sprinkle the entire potato skin with Himalayan Salt, then place in the oven or on the grill), grilled steaks and veggies, etc. It also works well to enhance the flavors of fresh fruits and veggies when lightly sprinkled over. I also top many of my baked goods with these delicious crystals. It is adds a wonderful taste and crunch when sprinkled over homemade pretzels, bagels, savory scones and breads. It provides a delightful contrast in flavor and texture when sprinkled over sweet items such as caramels (salted caramels are a popular treat), brownies and even cookies. I love the consistent quality I get with Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt, but I love the taste and versatility it brings to my cooking even more! For me, it is well worth paying a little more for the Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt than for standard table salt. The delicious flavor, consistent quality and size -the slightly larger crystals make this salt more versatile in how it can be used. For me, this means that I do not have to keep 2 or 3 different types of salt on hand to meet my cooking needs, this Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt does everything I need salt to do.

Lot for your money, great texture, fine salt with clean taste, good quality ingredients

Personally, I don't pay a ton of attention to salt intake....I am not hyper "low sodium" as is sometimes popular in the media. Don't get my wrong, I eat an extremely healthy diet, but it is the salt we get in *processed* foods (and the over-processed cheap "white" salt) that is bad for you. However, if you use a decent salt with trace minerals (in moderation), I think it is helpful. Our bodies do need salt. I have actually struggled with low blood pressure much of my life, so I have never had a doctor to tell me to limit salt - in fact, some have suggested I make sure to get *enough* sodium. I use Pink Himalayan salt - it actually tastes so much better - did you know that salt tastes differently?! This salt is much better for you than table salt - my kids love it too. This is the brand I use and the best price I have found.

Commercial refined (table) salt is inferior because not only is it stripped of almost all its minerals, but is also chemically cleaned, bleached and heated at unnecessary high temperatures - YUCK! It is treated with anti-caking agents which prevent salt from mixing with water in the salt container. These agents also prevent dissolving within our system leading to build up and then deposit in organs and tissue, causing health problems. Finally, the iodine that is added into salt is usually synthetic which is difficult for your body to process properly

Pink Himalayan salt packs a hearty 80+ minerals and elements- Himalayan salts are mineral packed crystals which formed naturally within the earth made up of 85.62% sodium chloride and 14.38% other trace minerals such as: sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, and strontium. And, natural salts are rich in iodine, so it doesn’t need to be artificially added in.

*Regular personal purchase

Purchased this gourmet "extra fine" salt to replace my existing, cheap supermarket salt. My first observation is on the grain size. This product is coarser than regular salt. It's closer to beach sand in size. It's also more uneven, running from powder to coarse grains. See photo attached to review of this product compared with regular table salt.

This I discovered when I used the salt shaker and found the amount being dispensed was not in proportion to the amount of shaking. Mostly the powder and fine grains came out. While the coarse grains do fit through the hole, unless they are lined up, they come out at a slower rate. Thus, the grains that come out of the shaker isn't reflective of what is inside the shaker.

I ended up drilling larger holes in my salt shaker top to fix this, which may or may not be an option for you. Now I am happy with the dispense rate.

The next issue is that the powder sticks to the outside top of the salt shaker. This I noticed after a couple days of using it. I typically shake the salt out at a 45 degree angle to control the flow. Some of the salt cascades down the top of the shaker, and the powder is too light to overcome the friction at that angle. And there you have it, a salt shaker with a powdered top. So now I have to wipe the top clean every so often. A little cosmetic inconvenience.

As far as the product itself, it tastes like regular salt. I do notice the larger crystals when shaken on food just prior to eating. It's a slight, salty crunch that I like. I find that they add a little flavor pop to the meal.

A side note: While vendor offers "extra fine" and "fine" grain levels as documented in one of their product listing photos. This isn't reflected on the product itself. No where on the actual package does it say "extra fine" or "fine". They also use the same photo in both listings, and in those photos it doesn't show the grain size on the package either.

I suspect that if you purchased the "fine" and "extra fine" products, you'd get the same exact product - an uneven, powder to fine grain salt that won't work properly in all regular salt shakers.

Side note #2: Some others have complained about sand / particulate matter in the product. There is a disclaimer on the package, which you can read on the back in fine print if you zoom in on the product photo. Spoiler alert: It does contain insoluble mineral deposits.

I like the actual product, I just think that it could be more accurately described in the listing to let people make an informed choice. The fine / extra-fine mystery is not cool either.

Great product. Amazon delivery, not so much. Item arrived busted open. I'm so tired of this happening and Amazon customer service is so hard to reach and you have to jump through hoops to get any remedy. I'm going to see if I can find this product elsewhere.

We have been using Himalayan salt at home for a few years now. All of it was bought out of one of those membership warehouses and came in a glass container with a grinder on top. To obtain the desired grain size, you have to adjust the grinder. It worked fine, but sometimes you needed access to salt faster than grinding it.

To obtain the desired grain size, you have to adjust the grinder. It worked fine, but sometimes you needed access to salt faster than grinding it every time you needed it. This is the reason I ordered this salt. The salt is already ground to a fine size that is ideal for cooking or for adding to your food. The taste of this salt is pleasant and the color is light pink. I have seen some other Himalayan salts and look like there is a mixture of white and pink crystals in it, I usually steer away from them as their flavor is not that desirable for me.

LOVE Himalayan salt! great size! fast delivery! thanks!

Nice colour, fairly small grains.

A little expensive but I love this salt! I use it for cooking as well as in my baths :) Saltier than table & sea salt, so use a little less than usual if switching over.

I discovered a product that is Real salt with all the minerals compared to ordinary salt.

Excellent product,well pleased.quick delivery.
