Himalayan Black Salt, also known as Kala Namak, is a unique volcanic rock salt with a distinctive sulphurous aroma and deep pinkish-black hue. Sourced from the mineral-rich salt mines of the Himalayas, this unrefined salt is packed with essential minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium, which contribute to its characteristic colour and taste.

Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its potential digestive and cooling properties, Kala Namak is a staple in Indian, Pakistani, and Southeast Asian cuisine. Its bold, umami-rich flavour with subtle egg-like notes makes it a favourite in vegan cooking, particularly for enhancing tofu scrambles, chutneys, salads, and spice blends. It’s also a key ingredient in popular Indian street foods like chaat and pani puri.

Beyond its culinary uses, Himalayan Black Salt is sometimes used in spa treatments, detoxifying bath soaks, and natural remedies. Whether you're looking to add depth to your dishes or explore its holistic benefits, Kala Namak is a must-have for every kitchen and wellness routine
