Black Salt

Black salt, also known as Kala Namak, is a unique and highly aromatic salt with a distinct flavor profile. Originating from South Asia, particularly India, black salt is prized for its sulfurous, pungent aroma and slightly tangy taste. It is often used in Indian cuisine to add depth and complexity to dishes, especially in chaats, chutneys, and savory snacks. Despite its name, black salt typically appears pinkish-gray in color due to its mineral content. Renowned for its digestive properties and believed to offer various health benefits, black salt is a versatile ingredient cherished by chefs and home cooks alike for its bold and unmistakable taste.
