Product Description

Black Salt, also known as Kala Namak, is a type of rock salt that is widely used in South Asian cuisine for its distinctive sulfurous aroma and tangy, umami-rich flavor. Despite its name, black salt is typically pinkish-brown to dark violet when ground, and is harvested from natural salt mines in regions like India, Pakistan, and the Himalayas.

The unique flavor of black salt comes from its sulfur compounds, especially hydrogen sulfide and iron sulfide, which give it a smell similar to boiled eggs. It's a key ingredient in dishes like chaat, raita, fruit salads, and chutneys, and is also popular in vegan cooking to replicate an “eggy” flavor.

Health Benefits of Himalayan Rock Salt (Black Salt)

Aids Digestion
Black salt stimulates the production of digestive enzymes and bile, helping to relieve indigestion, bloating, and gas. It’s often used in chaat masala and digestive tonics for this reason.

Relieves Constipation & Heartburn
With its mild laxative properties, black salt can help ease constipation, while its alkaline nature neutralizes excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn and acidity.

Promotes Hydration & Electrolyte Balance
Rich in essential minerals like sodium, iron, and potassium, black salt helps maintain electrolyte balance, especially after exercise, heat exposure, or dehydration.

Good for Weight Management
Black salt may aid weight loss by improving digestion and boosting metabolism, helping the body break down food more efficiently.

Improves Skin Health
When used in bath soaks or scrubs, black salt can help remove toxins, improve skin texture, and relieve inflammation and itchiness caused by conditions like eczema.

Soothes Muscle Cramps
The magnesium and potassium in black salt help relax muscles and reduce cramps or spasms, making it useful after workouts or long days of physical activity.

Supports Respiratory Health
Used in steam inhalation or gargles, black salt helps relieve sinus congestion, sore throat, and respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis.

Boosts Iron Levels
The natural iron content in black salt can help combat iron deficiency and anemia, though it should not be relied on as the sole source of iron.

Vegan-Friendly Egg Substitute
Its natural sulfuric taste makes black salt a popular choice in vegan dishes to mimic the flavor of eggs—perfect for tofu scrambles or vegan omelets.

Reduces Bloating in Infants (Externally)
Similar to hing, black salt is sometimes used externally in home remedies to relieve colic or bloating in babies (applied as a warm compress, not consumed).
