Is Himalayan salt the same as pickling salt?
Himalayan pink salt is not recommended for canning and pickling because it has minerals in it and could affect the quality of canned products, especially pickled products. I would recommend you stick to canning and pickling salt.
What is the closest salt to pickling salt?
Kosher salt
Kosher salt is a good substitute for pickling salt if you don’t have any on hand. If it is pure, kosher salt will not impede the pickling process. As extra insurance, read the label to confirm that the kosher salt doesn’t contain any anti-caking agents that can make the brine cloudy.
