Maras Salt,Peru NATURITAS price supplier

Peruvian Pink salt is often only recognized for its high quality flavor and lovely subtle pink color. It is high in trace minerals such as iron, which is useful for those who are anemic. It is also known to help with those suffering from muscular and arthritic pain, reduce infection, and renew cells.

As the name implies, this salt is imported from Peru. The salt comes from an ancient ocean, trapped underground, which feeds a spring located 10,000 feet high in the Andes Mountains. The warm spring water seeps into terraced ponds located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas where it is left to evaporate for approximately 10 days. The ponds, which have been hand-harvested for over 2,000 years, are now owned by individual families, who, after harvesting, load the salt on the backs of burros for the long descent into town.
