Himalayan Pink Salt (Stone-Ground Powder)

Our Himalayan Pink Salt comes in a stone-ground powder form, which mixes effortlessly with ingredients. Unlike coarse granules, this fine texture blends smoothly into marinades, salads, soups, and everyday cooking.

Why Choose Our Pink Salt?

  • Flavoursome & mineral-rich: Naturally contains trace minerals like iron, magnesium, and calcium that lend both colour and nutrition.

  • Authentic sourcing: Mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, the world’s only legal and authentic source since Himachal salt mines shut in 2009.

  • Safe & sustainable: Hand-mined using traditional methods, with no explosives used to preserve purity and the environment.

Add this natural salt to elevate flavours while enjoying the richness of a centuries-old tradition.

Cream of Tartar (Potassium Bitartrate)

A natural byproduct of wine fermentation, Cream of Tartar is a versatile baking essential.

Why Use It?

  • In baking: Stabilizes egg whites for meringues, prevents sugar crystallization in syrups and candies, and works with baking soda to create a natural leavening agent.

  • Beyond baking: Acts as a natural cleaning agent for metals, rust, and stains when mixed with vinegar.

  • Safe & effective: A small quantity enhances texture and consistency without altering flavour.

Perfect for home bakers looking for professional-quality results.
