Product Description
Kala Namak (or Black Salt) comes from the Himalayan Mountains in India and has been used for centuries in Indian cuisine as cooking and finishing salt. It has very unusual aroma reminiscent of cooked eggs. When ground into the small crystals or powder, it actually changes color to pink. In addition to the supreme taste it also has some exceptional health benefits. In India black salt is recommended for people with high blood pressure and to people who are on low-salt diets, because it is lower in sodium and does not increase sodium content in the blood. It is also know for comforting intestinal gas and heartburn. It is believed to help with indigestion. It is also considered a cooling spice in ayurvedic medicine which uses this salt as a digestive.
Great on: yogurt and cheese
Exceptional on summer favorites such as cucumbers, watermelon and mangoes.

Delicious but an Aquired taste for sure,
By Amrita Pritam (Berkeley, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kala Namak Salt- Organic Salt 6 oz Jar (Misc.)
I have been eating this salt since I was a child, not this brand but Kala Namak. It is commonly served with fruit and added to lemonades and other North Indian drinks. It is ground volcanic mineral salt and has a STRONG pungent smell and taste. I will not recommend it to anyone because it is such an acquired taste but I LOVE it. I have never used it in cooking, so don't know how that works. And to the reviewer Gordino, the smell is not a result of humanity's influence but because of presence of Hydrogen Sulfide, which is naturally present in the volcanic lava.

Kala Namak,
By Stef is Cool (Manville, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kala Namak Salt- Organic Salt 6 oz Jar (Misc.)
This salt's really yummy-especially when used in a vegan "egg" salad. It gives the tofu a little bit of a mineral-y flavor. Also, Das Salt has great customer service.
