What it is

Granules are mechanically processed Khewra pink salt screened to 1-3mm uniform size. The most efficient form to ship (highest packed density) and the easiest to handle in industrial food applications. Uniform sizing means consistent flow through dispensers, grinders, and dosing equipment.

Color is light to medium pink — premium dark-pink seam variant available for buyers needing visual color differentiation in retail SKUs.

Frequently asked — Granules

Why are granules the highest-density form?
1-3mm uniform crystals pack tightly with minimal air gaps. Standard 20ft FCL holds 24 MT (vs 18-22 MT for rock chunks, 16-20 MT for blocks). Best $/kg for pure salt content.
What's the typical retail SKU profile?
100g, 200g, 250g, 500g, 1kg in PET jars or pouches. We coordinate retail-pack production at our Hyderabad facility — lead time 14-21 days from artwork approval. Private label printing at no extra cost above 5 MT total retail volume.
Can you supply for BBQ rub manufacturers (USA, UK, AU)?
Yes — major USA/UK/AU BBQ-rub brands source through us or through trading-company intermediaries. Standard BBQ-rub format: 25kg PP bag, lab COA covering NaCl, mineral profile, microbial limits. Pink salt typically 30-50% of finished BBQ-rub formulation.
What's the difference between granules and coarse?
Granules: 1-3mm uniform. Coarse: 1-3mm or 2-5mm with broader range. Practically: granules are sized for finishing-salt and retail-jar SKUs; coarse is sized for refillable grinders where larger crystal preserves grinder utility. Functionally similar — choose based on retail SKU profile.
Do you sell 5-50kg retail bulk-economy bags?
Yes — 5kg / 10kg / 25kg retail-economy formats available for bulk-buyer retail (Costco, Sam's Club, restaurant supply). Standard PP woven bag with private-label print + handle for 5-10kg sizes.
How does the price compare across forms?
Standard FOB pricing tier (USD/MT, food-grade): rock chunks 280-380 / granules 240-340 / fine grain 280-400 / coarse 260-360 / blocks 380-580 / lamps (per piece) 4-25 / bath salt 320-480. Granules are typically the most competitive $/kg form for pure salt.
What's the typical lead time for granules?
Standard 10-14 days order to BL. Granules are our fastest-producing form — high-throughput screen processing at our Hyderabad facility. For tier-1 buyers committing 50+ MT/year forward, we can compress to 7-10 days.
Can you supply iodized pink salt?
Yes — pink salt naturally contains some iodine but at very low levels. For markets requiring iodized salt (per local regulation, especially India, Pakistan, Indonesia), we add potassium iodate to reach KI ≥ 30 ppm per WHO guidelines. Iodized version: separate SKU, separate lab COA, compliant with destination country's iodine fortification regulations.
Do you supply 'pink Himalayan' branded granules?
Yes — Khewra is the structural origin behind global 'Himalayan pink salt' retail branding. We provide marketing-grade COO documentation supporting Himalayan/Khewra claims for retail packaging copy. Note: 'Himalayan' is not a regulated geographic designation; usage is commercial/marketing.
