Why the World Trusts Pakistan for Genuine Himalayan Salt

Pakistan is the world's largest exporter of Himalayan salt, primarily sourced from the Khewra Salt Mine, one of the oldest and second-largest salt mines globally. This mine produces the distinctive pink Himalayan salt, renowned for its unique color and mineral content.

According to trade data, Pakistan leads the world in Himalayan salt exports, accounting for approximately 878% of the global market share. From November 2023 to December 2024, Pakistan exported 13,789 shipments of Himalayan salt, marking a 18% growth compared to the previous year.

Wild Beauty: The Untamed Plants of Kashmir’s Forests

Ferula asafoetida, commonly known as asafoetida, is a plant that produces a resin used as a spice and medicinalherb. The seeds of Ferula asafoetida are not commonly used; it's primarily the gum resin that is valued. 

Asafoetida has a strong, pungent aroma and is used in various cuisines, especially in Indian cooking, for its unique flavor and digestive benefits.

The resin is typically ground into a powder and added to dishes in small amounts. It's known for its ability to add a savory, umami quality to food, somewhat akin to garlic or onion but with a distinct flavor profile. In addition to its culinary uses, asafoetida has been used in traditional medicine for its purported digestive and anti-inflammatory properties.

If you're interested in growing Ferula asafoetida or using its seeds, they would need to be sown in a well-drained soil and require a sunny location. However, it's more common to purchase the resin or powdered form rather than working with the seeds directly.
