Origin
Black salt, or kala namak, originates from the Himalayan regions of India and Pakistan. Traditionally made by heating Himalayan rock salt with herbs and charcoal, it develops a dark color and sulfurous aroma. Ayurveda practitioners and Indian cooks have prized it for centuries for its digestive benefits and tangy, umami flavor.
Flavour Profile
Black salt, or kala namak, has a distinct sulphurous aroma and a tangy, umami-rich taste. Due to its natural sulfur compounds, it delivers a mildly salty, smoky flavor that resembles boiled eggs. This salt enhances the savory depth of dishes like chaats, raitas, and chutneys. Its bold flavor is especially popular in Indian street food and Ayurvedic recipes.
