The Best Himalayan Salt

The highest quality Himalayan salt

Ancient Ocean^® Himalayan Pink Salt is the best of its kind in the world due to its mild, versatile flavor and beautiful color that ranges in shades of delicate pink to dark rose. Unlike other brands, Ancient Ocean goes through several all-natural processing methods that guarantee its quality and beauty—all while leaving its prized trace minerals intact.

Fine grain (0.2 - 0.8 mm)

Ideal grain size for tabletop salt shakers
Optically sorted for premium pink color
Consistent grain size reduces clumping
Zero anti-caking agents or additives
De-dusting and removal of powder ensures free flowing salt

Grinder (1.0 - 3.0 mm)

Ideal grain size for salt grinders
Free from insolubles that cannot be removed from sifting / sieving alone
Consistent grain size reduces grinder mechanism wear
Sorted for the most desirable color range
Sourced from FDA registered, ethical suppliers
Cleanest food-grade Himalayan salt available without the use of chemicals or additives

Himalayan Pink salt is the result of an ancient body of water that slowly evaporated over millions of years, leaving behind mineral-rich salt fused with natural clay, stone and other foreign material. Completely separating the salt from these elements requires several levels of careful processing.

Perfecting Ancient Ocean^®

Optical Color Sorting: Detects particles that mimic the appearance of salt (like clay, stone and rock) as well as salt crystals that have inclusions or may otherwise be less desirable. Once identified, this material is instantly removed with a targeted burst of air.
Rare Earth Magnets: Any ferrous metal and magnetic contamination is removed by the strongest rare earth magnets in the industry.
Aspiration: Removes objects lighter than the salt, such as plant matter, fibers, wood and other undesirable materials.
Metal Detection: In addition to rare earth magnets, the salt goes through a final metal detection step to ensure that the processed and packaged salt is free of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Sieving: The salt is specially sieved to exacting sizes, ensuring consistency every time.

Optically Clean^® technology distinguishes Ancient Ocean^® as the purest on the market. Here's why:

Extensive proprietary processes eliminate foreign materials such as metals, sticks, sand, rocks, clay, flawed crystals and other insoluble matter, ensuring all that’s left is 100% natural salt.
No chemicals or artificial processing agents are ever used, leaving the salt just as pure as the day it was harvested and its prized mineral content intact.
Every grain is reviewed for quality using high-definition cameras.
Custom-engineered equipment can detect undesirable foreign particles that are smaller than a grain of sand.
If foreign material or a flawed grain is detected, a targeted burst of air instantly removes it from production.

This process results in clean, mineral-rich sea salt that is ready for use in food manufacturing.
