Sal de Maras

Sal de Maras

Known as Sal de Maras, Sal Rosada, Peruvian Pink Salt, Incan Salt, Maras Salt etc, it is collected from these ancient actually, pre-Incan salt pans. Water bubbles up from a natural spring and mixes with subterranean ancient salt lakes to collect in these pans. The spring water evaporates in the equatorial sun, leaving this mineral rich salt where it is still collected in a traditional artisanal manner by the Quechua descendants of the Inca.  The salt has a light pink colour and this is our only non-plant derived product and we sell in a 1kg format: Incan Salt.
