Himalayan Black Salt - Kala Namak

Himalayan black salt, also known as Kala Namak, is a distinctive, mineral-rich rock salt with a deep purple-black hue. Hailing from the salt mines of the Himalayan region, it has a unique sulfurous aroma and a tangy, savory flavor, often described as earthy or umami. Widely used in South Asian cuisine, Kala Namak is a key ingredient in dishes like chaat, raita, and various pickles, and is prized in vegan cooking for its egg-like taste. It is also valued for its purported health benefits, including aiding digestion and balancing electrolytes.
