Black Salt

Black Salt, traditionally known as Kala Namak, is a unique kiln-fired rock salt prized for its intense, sulfurous aroma and complex, savory flavor profile. Originating from the Himalayan ranges, these dark, violet-to-black crystals transform into a pale pinkish-grey powder when ground. It is the secret ingredient behind the signature “zing” in Indian street food, chaats, and cooling summer drinks like Shikanji. Beyond its culinary role as a vegan-friendly egg-flavor substitute, Black Salt is a staple in Ayurvedic wellness, celebrated for its cooling properties and its ability to aid digestion and relieve bloating.
