Pink Crystal salt (on butter) at Narcoosees?

[oceanmarina]

Hi all,

Ha anyone ever seen the pink crystal salt they have on the butter (in the bread and butter basket) at Narcoosees? I wonder if you can purchase it anywhere?

Is it pink Himalayan salt? If so, you can get that easily online or at some stores.

There is also Alaea salt, from Hawaii. It is a dark pink. Pink Himalayan salt is available EVERYWHERE. Target, Wal Mart, Costco, and likely every large chain grocery store.

I buy Alaea salt at my local Ralph's supermarket for about $2 for 4oz. It's great finishing salt.

The Spice and Tea Exchange located in Mickey's Pantry in Disney Springs, near EOS, has some great finishing salts as well.

My local Costco sells the Pink Himalayan Salt.

Morton’s Salt (when it rains, it pours) sells pink Himalayan salt in a bottle that grinds it fresh.

It’s the only thing I use for cooking. (For baking, I stick with regular Morton’s table salt.)

I buy my salts here... https://www.seasalt.com/gourmet-salt/himalayan-salt.html or just use www.seasalt.com and search for what you want. The smoked salt is really good for grilled foods.

I buy all my seasonings here about twice a year:

If there is a Penzey's in your locale (none in Manhattan anymore) it's also a place for superior fresh spices and herbs. Oh and the owners of the Spice House are members of the same family as Penzey's.

Don’t use it to replace all of your salt needs. You still need iodine in your diet.

Yes, I have seen pink Himalayan salt in stores.

Trader Joes has it also in a grinder. Have you tried Morton's Kosher salt? Its much better for baking (and cooking) I don't even buy table salt anymore

I'm partial to Diamond Kosher salt probably because it's more readily available in my area and has been since I was a little girl but also because it doesn't taste as salty as Morton's. Should you ever decide to brine meats be sure to change the salt proportion when using Morton's since the recipes are often formulated w/ Diamond in mind. Here's a chart that I've saved forever that among other things gives conversion amts for the 2 brands:

I've never used a salt grinder; just finger crush but I'll keep an eye out for one.

Hehehe...about table salt when I moved last year I found a box of table salt that cost 8 cents in the back of the pantry. Came in handy for the final cleaning of my kitchen's cement floor, LOL.

That is definitely NOT pink Himalayan salt. Looks like Alaea salt. Those crystals are too dark and too small to be pink Himalayan salt, which is much lighter in color and has much larger crystals (which you can grind up, but they won't have that cube like structure when you do so).

Don’t use it to replace all of your salt needs. You still need iodine in your diet.

You will get plenty of iodine from processed foods or eating at restaurants.

I haven't had iodized salt in my home in over 15 years and we are certainly not iodine deficient.

I used Costco sea salt in a batch of cookies one time, and they came out way too salty. I’ve read since then that the salt measurement in most recipes is based on regular table salt so I’ve stuck to iodized Morton’s for baking ever since. I use it in my pasta water too.
