Andean Pink Salt

Andean Pink Salt(Sal De Maras) Pink Salt comes from an ancient ocean, trapped underground, which feeds a spring located 10,000 feet high in the Andes Mountains in Maras, Peru. The warm spring water seeps into terraced ponds located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The ponds, which have been hand-harvested for over 2,000 years, are now owned by individual families, who, after harvesting, load the salt on the backs of burros for the long descent into town. Peruvian Pink Sea Salt is very pale pink and has a rich, complex, minerally flavor. It contains magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc, which can help conditions such as stress, anemia and osteoporosis. The sal de Maras is known as the healthiest and most nutritious salt on the planet, and can only be found in the Andes and the Himalayas. Health benefits of this mineral powerhouse include: It can help stabilize and regulate the heartbeat, thanks to its magnesium and sodium content. Its sodium is essential for proper muscular function. Good quality salt helps minimize the effects of stress by maintaining proper melatonin, serotonin, and tryptamine levels in the brain.
