What nutritionist says
It is true that Himalayan salt has a higher mineral composition than regular table salt. However, its chemical composition is similar to table salt. Excessive consumption of sodium can lead to high blood pressure and increase the risk of heart problems. Therefore, for adults, the recommendation was that individuals should not eat >5 g of salt per day (2,300 mg sodium).
FAQ
1. How is this different from regular table salt? 
The main difference is that the Himalayan salt is unprocessed, which means that its minerals are retained. While regular table salt is heavily processed, thus, most of its nutrients are removed. 

2. Are all your salts iodized? 
Yes, all our salt products are iodized. 
 
Mommy’s Corner
0 – 6 months old: giving your baby salt should be avoided at this age. Babies can already get the sodium needed from breast or formula milk 
6 – 12 months old: The maximum amount that can be given is 1g per day. It is not recommended to give more than this as their kidneys cannot cope with it.  However, we recommend using mild spices instead of salt if your baby’s food tastes bland. 
Above 12 months old: The maximum that can be given is 2g per day. 
For pregnant women, the recommended salt intake is the same as everyone else. A daily maximum of 5g per day or 1 teaspoon of salt. 
 
Suggested ways to serve:
