Why Oryco Chooses Himalayan Pink Salt

When it comes to salt, most people reach for whatever is on the shelf — often without realizing that not all salts are created equal. From gourmet kitchens to wellness circles, Himalayan pink salt has become one of the most talked-about natural minerals in the world. But what truly makes it different from sea salt? And why are more Americans switching to Himalayan pink salt for health, flavor, and purity?

At Oryco Inc., our mission is to bring the purest Himalayan pink salt to homes, restaurants, and wellness brands across the United States — helping Americans experience the authentic benefits of this ancient mineral while protecting health and the environment.

Sea salt is made by evaporating seawater. It retains trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which can add flavor and color. While sea salt is often considered a “natural” choice, its modern reality tells a more complicated story.

Sea salt is produced by collecting ocean water in shallow ponds and allowing the sun and wind to evaporate it. The remaining crystals are then harvested, washed, and packaged.

•  Sodium chloride (main component)
•  Calcium
•  Magnesium
•  Potassium
•  Sulfates

Over the last decade, numerous scientific studies have revealed a troubling fact: microplastic contamination in sea salt. Because our oceans are increasingly polluted with plastic waste, microscopic plastic fragments end up in seawater — and eventually in the salt that reaches our tables.
Recent studies have found microplastics in over 90% of sea salt brandstested globally. These tiny particles may contribute to long-term health issues, including inflammation and hormonal disruption.

While sea salt can still be used in moderation, the purity once associated with it is no longer guaranteed.

Himalayan pink salt is an ancient, unrefined mineral salt extracted from deep within the Khewra Salt Mine in the foothills of the Himalayas (Pakistan). Unlike sea salt, it is not derived from modern oceans. Instead, it comes from a prehistoric seabed that crystallized over 250 million years ago, long before human pollution existed.

Himalayan salt is mined by hand, washed, and minimally processed. Because it is protected deep underground, it remains free from microplastics, heavy metals, and industrial toxins that affect modern sea salts.

This natural salt contains up to 84 trace minerals, including:

•  Iron (gives it the pink hue)
•  Calcium
•  Magnesium
•  Potassium
•  Zinc
•  Phosphorus
•  Strontium

These trace elements play vital roles in hydration, electrolyte balance, nerve function, and metabolism.

1. Rich in Essential Minerals
   Unlike refined table salt, Himalayan pink salt provides a spectrum of trace elements that support overall wellness.
2. Balances Electrolytes & pH Levels
   Its natural mineral blend can help balance the body’s pH and improve hydration efficiency.
3. Supports Better Respiratory Health
   Salt therapy (halotherapy) using Himalayan salt has been shown to help alleviate asthma, allergies, and sinus issues.
4. Promotes Healthy Sleep & Stress Reduction
   The negative ions released by Himalayan salt can support a calmer nervous system and deeper rest.
5. Enhances Food Naturally
   Its subtle, balanced flavor enhances dishes without overpowering them, making it ideal for everyday cooking or gourmet dining.

At Oryco Inc., we believe purity matters — in both what we eat and how we live. That’s why our company is committed to importing and distributing 100% authentic Himalayan pink salt across the United States.

Our salt is:

•  Certified food-grade and non-GMO
•  Ethically sourced from sustainable mines
•  Lab-tested for purity and mineral content
•  Free from microplastics and artificial additives

By supporting Himalayan pink salt, we are also supporting local Himalayan mining communities, sustainable trade, and a cleaner global food chain.

A study published in Environmental Science & Technology found that the average adult may consume 2,000–3,000 microplastic particles per year just from salt. These particles can accumulate in the body and may have toxic effects over time.
Switching to Himalayan pink salt is not only a matter of taste — it’s a matter of health and environmental responsibility.

Oryco Inc. is working nationwide to educate consumers, chefs, and wellness experts about the difference between Himalayan and sea salts. Our mission is to bring clean, mineral-rich, and microplastic-free salt to every American household.

We invite distributors, retailers, and conscious consumers to join us in creating a healthier, cleaner, and more transparent food industry.
