Murray River Salt - Pink Salt Flakes, pink brine salt flakes, from Australia

The Murray River, whose source rises in the snowy mountains, is the largest river in Australia. In its course it flows through landscapes with increased salt deposits. The Murray-Darling Basin, with its low rainfall and high evaporation levels, is an ideal place to extract groundwater with high salt concentrations. The color of the salt obtained from this natural brine comes from secreted red pigments (carotenes) from salt-tolerant algae. Australian Murray River Salt consists of subtle, peach-colored crystals. The flakes have a mild taste and are ideal for seasoning or to use as table salt. They literally melt between your fingers.
