Not all salt is created equal — especially when it comes to Himalayan salt, renowned for its purity and natural mineral content. When used in fish sauce, Himalayan salt doesn’t just add a smooth, well-rounded flavor; it also brings surprising health benefits.
As more consumers focus on wellness, choosing the right seasoning has become an essential part of sustainable self-care. One rising trend is the use of Himalayan Salt, a natural ingredient that enhances both flavor and nutritional value. Today, Squid Brand explores why switching from regular salt to Himalayan salt in fish sauce makes such a meaningful difference.
What Is Himalayan Salt and How Is It Different?
Himalayan Pink Salt is a natural salt formed over millions of years from ancient sea salt deposits found in the Himalayan mountain range of Pakistan. Its signature pale pink hue comes from natural iron content, and it contains over 80 trace minerals including calcium, magnesium, and potassium — all essential for maintaining the body’s internal balance.
Unlike refined table salt, Himalayan salt is unprocessed and chemical-free, meaning no bleaching agents, anti-caking additives, or artificial treatments. This helps preserve its natural mineral profile and purity.
Why Himalayan Salt Fish Sauce Is Better for Your Health
Himalayan salt fish sauce is becoming a popular choice among health-conscious consumers. By replacing refined salt with natural Himalayan salt, the sauce helps reduce excess sodium intake while maintaining the signature savory, umami-rich taste fish sauce is known for.
Some studies also suggest that Himalayan salt may help support fluid balance in the body and may reduce water retention when used appropriately.
The result is a cleaner, gentler seasoning — ideal for those managing blood pressure or looking to improve overall dietary wellness without sacrificing flavor.
