Pink salt

[code3rrt]

For those of you that use pink salt, where do you get it?

I've checked at several grocery stores, and then finally was able to get some at a local butcher shop that also smokes meats. They don't sell it, they were nice enough to give me some.

Is this the curing agent that you mix with pickling salt and brown sugar?

3%, 1% and .25% respectively. I sure hope so ...I picked up some today. All I need is a scale! :thumb:

Bolner's Fiesta spices in San Antonio sells it at their online store too. You could add a few of their other items to make the shipping worthwhile. I really like their Uncle Chris' Gourmet steak seasoning, and their pork, chicken and rib rubs are all very good.

Why pink salt? Does it have properties that set it apart from other coarse salts?

 

[YetiDave]

It's a blend of sodium nitrite and salt. The nitrite is a powerful antimicrobial agent that prevents the growth of the botulism bacteria, amongst many other things. It also preserves that pink colour you find in cured meats and alters the taste slightly

Thanks YetiDave! I knew there had to be a reason!

Table salts referred to as “Hawaiian Pink Salt” or “Himalayan Pink Salt”, these are table salts and NOT curing salts.
