About Black salt
Black salt, also known as kala namak, is a type of rock salt commonly used in South Asian cuisine. It originates from volcanic regions across India and Pakistan and is known for its distinctive sulfurous aroma and bold, tangy flavor. Black salt is mineral-rich, containing iron and trace amounts of other elements, thanks to its natural composition and traditional processing methods. Its smoky, umami-like taste makes it a key ingredient in chutneys, salads, and vegetarian or vegan dishes, often mimicking the flavor of eggs. While it is a healthier alternative to regular table salt due to its lower sodium content, excessive consumption can contribute to high blood pressure, similar to other salts. Black salt is prized for its digestive properties, as it is thought to aid in reducing gas and bloating, though moderation is essential for maintaining overall health.
