is Himalayan rock salt really from Himalayas?

We got to wondering.   Turns out:  not.  According to Google:



Himalayan salt is rock salt or halite from the Punjab region of Pakistan. It is falsely marketed as being from the Himalayas.



Sometimes it seems like nothing in this world is as it appears to be.



Illusion vs. reality.



If you can't trust your salt, what can you trust?



Meanwhile, pass the Pakistani salt, please.....no, not that one, the one from the Punjab, bro.....
