PINK SALT

Coarse, fine, rock, Cornish and Himalayan – posh salts are frequently used by food bloggers and self-styled nutritional gurus, who claim they contain more minerals and are natural, therefore healthier. But gourmet salts contain the same amount of sodium – responsible for increasing blood pressure – as regular salt, so are no better for us. Also, they often come in larger crystals or flakes, so we tend to use more.
