HIMALAYAN SALT BLOCKS

A Himalayan salt block is a large piece of pink salt, hand carved and formed into a plate. They are carved into rectangles, circles, squares, or other neat brick-like shapes. Each block is one of a kind, and can be rough or smooth, but probably a little of both. They are a very unique way to prepare and serve vegetables, seafood, chicken and even cold dishes like raw fish.  Not to mention it will add to the conversation of any dinner party. The best part is that the block is actually healthy for you.
Himalayan Salt blocks make a wonderful up scale statement when used to serve and display your foods such as sushi or cold meats and cheeses. They are most often also used for cooking on the stove top, in the oven or on the grill to cook steak, chicken, seafood or vegetables for a delicious flavour and tender meat.
Himalayan pink salt blocks are harvested from deep within the ancient Himalayan mountain range, completely untouched, making it what many consider the purest, cleanest salt in the world.
This is a step-by-step guide for cooking on a Himalayan saltblock. Cooking steak is one of the easiest ways to start using your Himalayan salt block. The process is the same for other foods – the only thing that changes is the cooking time. If you don’t eat meat, you can substitute any of your favourite vegetables. For more information, check out our complete Guide to Himalayan Salt Blocks.
All in all, my first try at cooking on a Himalayan salt block was a great success — both for the delicious food as well as the lessons I learned so that I can have an even better experience the next time. Here is what I gleaned:
  1. I took the advice to heat the salt block slowly to an extreme. It shouldn’t take an hour or more to bring the block up to a sufficient temperature of 400°F. Next time I can turn the stove up higher, sooner.
  2. The stainless steel griddle with a plastic handle was not heavy-duty enough for the task. I’ll need to find a better solution.
  3. Although the meat was wonderful, I don’t think the onions or mushrooms worked very well, at least at the lower temperatures I was using. Both contain too much water, which extends the cooking time as well as the amount of salt they absorb.
  4. I love the infra red thermometer — it worked great! I imagine I will be using it in the kitchen to measure the temperature of other cooking surfaces as well.
  • Himalayan Salt Cooking & Serving Block enhances the flavour of all different hot or cold foods
  • Block is made of natural Himalayan pink salt
  • Chill or heat the block for using to serve with various meats, veggies, fish, poultry, fruits, salads, and more
  • To chill, simply place in the refrigerator for 1 hour (tile will retain the temperature for 2-3 hours)
  • To heat, simply place tile in oven or grill at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes
  • Can be used many times over
  • Easy to clean by wiping with a towel
  • Salt block is naturally antiseptic and antibacterial so no further cleaning is needed

Care

Since salt is anti-microbial (it doesn’t grow bacteria) the block will technically be considered clean once it has time to cool off and dry.
  1. Once the block has cooled overnight use a wetted stiff bristle brush and scrape off any stuck on or burnt food.
  2. Let block dry completely for 24 hours before reusing.
  3. Do NOT hold block under running water as it will cause the salt to dissolve.

HIMALAYAN SALT CANDLE HOLDER

Himalayan Salt Candle Holders are wonderful, multi-functional, works of art. Hand crafted from 100% pure Himalayan Salt crystals, these beautiful, organic lighting features emit earthy, smooth lighting to create a tranquil atmosphere in any room of the home.

Lots of studies and researches shows that Salt Candle Holders is an amazing thing. It’s have unlimited benefits. One of the key benefit of Himalayan Salt Candle Holder is Negative Ions which protect us against the Positive Ions around us.

Heating the salt with a tea light candle releases negative ions into the air, creating an effect similar to an ionizer, purifying the surrounding air

In addition to their natural beauty and warm, soft glow, Himalayan Salt Candle Holders help naturally purify the air by emitting negative ions. Negative ions are scientifically proven to reduce the amount of harmful particles in the air. Along with helping to remove allergens like mild spores, pollen, and other environmental pollutants, as well as harmful electromagnetic frequencies for a healthier indoor environment, the effects of negative ions also naturally dilute odours.

When the candle is lit and becomes heated, negative ions are released into the air -- this is said to purify the air, reduce stress and depression, and help relieve symptoms of asthma, sinus irritation, and allergies. Let its soft glow and healing properties transform your home's interior -- and perhaps your outlook on life!
Keeping a salt candle holder in areas where positive ions are polluting your air space will help neutralise the air you breathe. Balancing positive & negative ions also help reduce airborne infections.

 Our Himalayan salt candle holders make great additions to the home. Buying the Natural Candle Holder Set allows you to place multiple candle holders throughout a room for a very attractive effect. Many restaurants also like our candle holders, as they use them for centrepieces on their tables.

HIMALAYAN SALT LUMPS

Most plants do not supply enough sodium for livestock and horses so supplementation is vital. Lack of salt causes poor appetite and low performance, muscle cramps and general unthriftiness. Animals deficient in salt and other essential minerals can sometimes show symptoms such as licking wood and stones or eating soil and bark.

 Hard Himalayan salt lumps. Easy to metabolise. May shine animal coats all year round. No anti-coagulants, free flow agents or sweeteners like molasses or urea. Depending on pastures available, a 33 kg bag of lumps could last up to 1 month for 50 steers under 300 kg.

Offer your livestock premium grade Himalayan rock salt lump; the pink color comes from the minerals such as iron, potassium and magnesium which are present along with the sodium chloride. These hard salt lumps are more weather resistant than softer blocks and this also means stock cannot bite chunks off.
Himalayan salt mines yield different colors salt lumps and boulders. These raw salt lumps and boulders are excavated manually from salt mines in different weights. Normally lumps excavated from salt mines weigh from 1 kg to 2 tons and some time more than this. The main hurdle to excavate bigger weight lump is to pull them out from 1800 meters underneath the ground as all the excavation transportation of the lumps and boulders is done manually using the improvised method prevalent from centuries. There is no modern machinery available to make use of that.
There are different natural colors of these Himalayan salt lumps which includes: Orange , pink, light pink, red, snow white , gray and multi colors.
Khalidmaqbool.com extracts the premium quality Himalayan Rock salt lumps from the Foothills of Himalaya and crushes and filters the best Rock Salt from the nature’s gift in Himalaya’s Salt Mines.

Himalayan salt lick

If there is one thing horses love—and absolutely need—it is a salt lick or simply a salt block. However, many salt licks that horse lovers find on the market are incredibly expensive, heavy, have been baked to lose all minerals and nutrients, or simply can be too easily bitten. Himalayan lick salt is the purest form of salt you can give your horse. Natural and as pure as the day it was mined high up in the Himalayan mountains. Horses and ponies require supplementary salt on a daily basis. Research shows that salt is the one nutrient that horses will self-supplement to balance their diet. Himalayan Salt Licks hung in the stable and field allow access to the purest form of salt, without unnatural flavors that can encourage greediness!
These Himalayan salt lick is mined from the vast and ancient Himalayan mountains, these licks are a 550 million year old source of minerals and trace elements for your horse or pony. The distinctive rose pink color comes from the salt’s high mineral content, including iron, potassium, and magnesium, which are all vital for maintaining health. Mass-produced salt licks are produced using salt with minerals added in during the manufacturing process, but that’s not the case with Himalayan salt, where the minerals are naturally found within the salt. Himalayan rock salt licks are literally “rock hard,” meaning that horses and ponies are unable to bite chunks off the block, a problem than can occur with softer “pressed” salt licks. These licks are also more weather resistant, which means they can be safely left outside in the field for horses to “self-dose.” We've found that horses like them more than other salt licks! Available in mini (1.63 lbs), small (2.2 lbs), medium (6.6 lbs) or block (4.4 lbs, 2”x4”x8”). The small and medium licks include a rope and the mini lick is pre-drilled with a hole but does not come with a rope. The 4.4 lb block fits in most standard salt block holders and does not come with a rope.
Khalidmaqbool.com  Himalayan Salt Licks for horses and ponies are obviously distinctive by their color, however it’s not just this that sets them apart from other licks.  We like to describe them as salt licks with 'nothing added and nothing taken out' and we believe they are one of the purest forms of salt (sodium chloride) available. 
Khalidmaqbool.com Himalayan Salt Licks have been analysed and have been shown to be predominantly sodium chloride, with other trace elements such as potassium, magnesium (vital for maintaining health) and iron which is responsible for the distinctive rose pink color.
Our experience has shown that farm animals and pets prefer these to other salt licks. Farmers have historically provided salt licks for their cattle, horses, and other herbivores to encourage healthy growth and development. A salt lick is a deposit of mineral salts used by animals to supplement their nutrition, ensuring that they get enough minerals in their diets. A wide assortment of animals, primarily herbivores, use salt lick to get essential nutrients lick calcium, magnesium, sodium and zinc.
The perfect gift for pets and animals! I feed this to my Nigerian Dwarf Goats, and they love it! This natural Himalayan Salt lick lasts 5 x longer than typical "pressed" salt licks you find at feed stores.
Perfectly safe for wildlife, pets and all land animals. There is no risk of animals consuming "too much" salt, as they will lick it to get only the amount they need, and then they will stop licking it until they need more minerals.
If your horse is active with showing, eventing or racing, the chances are he needs lots of extra energy requirements to stay healthy.Giving him free access to Himalayan Salt Licks along with his regular diet will help him to stay active and healthy. He can choose to “lick it as he needs it”, giving him the right intake of natural trace elements and minerals.  
Without salt, animals could get sick. Every mammal requires salt. It is actually a necessary nutrient in our diets! Horses and other animals, like humans, lose minerals from their bodies as it is carried out in their sweat...one of the most abundant of these minerals is salt...Horses and other animals often lose lots of salt during very strenuous workouts. So, some owners try to help them replenish the lost salt by providing a salt lick. This helps your horse or animal to regain the lost salt quickly, however there are more reasons. Salt often makes you want to drink, right, so, it's similar for horses. By having Himalayan Salt Licks, Biotin and Vitamin E enriched mineral blocks available to your animals, they are also encouraged to drink more water to keep them hydrated!

HIMALAYAN SALT SHOT GLASS

You like your beer craft brewed, your wine perfectly aerated, why shouldn't your tequila get a bump up from the salt shaker and lime wedge standard?
Made from Himalayan salt, these festive glasses are highlighted by the thinly veiled, translucent appearance of rose quartz. Perfect for tequila or even mescal, these innovative vessels offer a salty twinge to your taste buds, but with a more nuanced flavor than ordinary table salt. Himalayan Salt is naturally antibacterial so you don't have to worry about cleaning mid-fiesta, and the strong salt minerals keep the shot glasses strong through many festive toasts.

"I prefer my tequila chased with salt and lime, and these shot glasses—carved from high-quality Himalayan salt—are perfect, no extra salt necessary."—Khalidmaqbool.com

Our Himalayan salt shot glasses have amazing thermal properties that let them stay hot or cold far longer than glass. Freezing, refrigerating, or heating them before serving opens new doors for drink design.

Popping them in the freezer overnight gives you one incredibly frosty-salty cup for that mint julep you've been looking forward to since Monday. The trick to using Himalayan salt goblets well is to mix drinks designed for quick quaffing. Liquid dissolves salt quickly. If you let your shot sit for long, it will soon become unpalatable. But done right, the salt transforms drinks that benefit from a little salt.

Impress your guests with these cool salt shot glasses. Carved from the finest quality, food grade Himalayan pink salt, our Himalayan salt shot glasses are perfect for your Cinco de Mayo party or any gathering where tequila may be served. Simply pour tequila into the shot glasses and serve with lime wedges. The pink salt naturally flavors the tequila, so the longer the tequila sits, the saltier it will be! Each salt shot glass holds 1.2 ounces and measures 3” high and 2” diameter. Himalayan salt shot glasses come in a set of four.

Put Tequila in Your Salt

You'll be amazed how the rich taste of Himalayan crystal salt enhances the flavor of your favorite tequila like table salt never did!
These beautiful and functional sets will be the perfect conversation starter for your party or decorative accent for your home.

The best way to use it

Tequila and salt usually mean shooters.

Drink it at once for the best taste.

Suck on the lemon or lime wedge.

Repeat it as many times as you wish.

Just quickly rinse it with water and dry with paper towel before putting it away.

These reasons alone certainly justify the purchase of a set of two or four or twenty four Himalayan pink salt shot glasses for your merry making.  But try them with sweeter drinks, or with a bit of sweetener on the rim of the cup, and you will really see some flavors fly.  Mint Juleps, margarita shots, Spanish coffee… to name a few
You can expect to enjoy many uses with your Himalayan Salt Shot Glasses. However, little by little the salt glass will dissolve over time changing it size, shape and its surface. Once product becomes too small for use as a shot glass, there are still ways to get further use out of the salt. You can grate the salt over entrees to add amazing flavor or add it to your bath to re-mineralize your body, soothe muscle aches and pains and soften your skin.

HIMALAYAN SALT LAMP

Himalayan Salt Lamps are created out of natural Himalayan Crystal Salt mined from deep below the surface of the earth, often at depths of a mile or more underground. The 84 minerals and trace elements present in Himalayan Crystal Salt gives it a unique and vibrant pink color, which is why it is sometimes referred to simply as “pink salt.”

A Salt Lamp is a chunk of Pure Himalayan Crystal Salt that has been attached to a sturdy base made of Rosewood, and drilled out to provide a space for a light source to be introduced. Adding a light bulb inside a Himalayan Salt Lamp warms the salt from within and facilitates the release of negative ions from the Himalayan Salt into the atmosphere.

The negative ions then bond with the positive ions (pollutants) in the air and help to neutralize them. Many of the conveniences of modern life, such as our electronic devices and heating and cooling systems, produce an abundance of positive ions which throw the air we breath completely out of balance. That, in turn, can contribute to the development of allergies, asthma, stress, insomnia and other sleep disorders, sinus and migraine headaches, and a host of other health problems for many individuals. By utilizing negative ion-generating Himalayan Salt Lamps in your home, office, or anywhere else you spend time in your daily life, you can often help alleviate these symptoms!

How do Salt Crystal Lamps Work?


The bulb inside of the salt lamp heats the crystal and supports the ionizing effect. Salt itself is hygroscopic and attracts the water from the surroundings. You can often see that the salt lamp is damp or even wet, especially in more humid environments. Due to the gentle heat of the salt lamp, the water quickly evaporates and during the evaporation process the beneficial negative ions get created. They go on to bind with excessive positive ions (bacteria, molds and allergens all carry a positive charge) and neutralize the electronic smog in your home.

What we use…

It is possible to buy machines that create negative ions, but I’ve found that salt lamps are a less expensive and very effective alternative.

I use salt lamps often in our home, and especially in winter months when it isn’t possible to have the windows open or to spend as much time outside. We now have a solid salt lamp or a basket lamp in each room of our home and I love them for their ambient glow and their negative ions.

Choosing & Placing Your Himalayan Pink Salt Lamp
When it comes to buying Himalayan pink salt lamps, coverage is determined by the size of the crystal. Smaller lamps (like this 5.4 lb) are good for the average bedroom, while larger lamps (like this 12 lb) are better for spaces like the living room or den. On average, calculate that 1 lb of HPS crystal will cleanse the air in approximately a 4′ x 4′ area.

If you can’t find a large enough lamp for any given room, remember that you can use multiple lamps spread out around the space for the same effect.

Remember, Himalayan pink salt crystals will begin to melt with prolonged exposure to high humidity. For this reason, use caution and keep a close watch on any salt lamps positioned near sources of steam such as dishwashers, laundry machines, or showers.

Our hand carved Salt Lamps come in several popular shapes that will transform any space and enhance your visual experience. Visit our websites to view our current range of salt lamps, tea lights and other accessories
