Himalayan Pink Salt – Super Fine Grind
Lisa’s Counter Culture now offers a super fine grind of this wondrous mineral-rich salt that is perfect for creating cold water brines. Just add to water – and it almost immediately dissolves with a stir or two. This is available in pint and 1/2 pint sizes for your convenience. This salt is also a great value!
100% natural, Himalayan Pink Salt is one of the purest salts available on earth. Mined from deep in the Himalayan Mountains, this salt crystallized more than 200 million years ago and remains protected from modern-day pollution and impurities. It contains more than 84 trace minerals and none of the additives or aluminum compounds found in refined table salt. Himalayan Pink Salt is known for its healing and nutritional properties. This is the very highest quality Himalayan salt available. Unlike other “wet”-style sea salts, you will NOT HAVE A MOLD PROBLEM with this dry, deep-earth salt.
Top 10 Uses for Pickle Juice
Don’t toss this out – it’s liquid gold! It’s full of lively probiotic bacteria and it tastes good too! You can also substitute kimchi, kraut or other veggie brine here.
1. Drink it up as a refreshing beverage
2. Add it to your fermented mayo
3. Add it to salad dressings – cut back the vinegar to adjust the recipe
4. Add it to egg or tuna salad – or one of my favorites – 1/2 tuna and 1/2 egg salad
5. Add a dash to dip for veggies
6. Use it in a pickle juice soup
7. Add it to potato salad
8. Add some zest to your soup – try adding to beet soup as a finishing touch – make sure the soup is not too hot – best to add it to cool summer soups
9. Bloody Marys!
10. Pickle juice popsicle – one of our favorites!
