Black Salt – 200 Grams

Black salt is a healthy alternative to table salt and is prized for its digestive and metabolic properties.  It is also known as saindhav, Kala namak, or sanchal.  Black salt was first used in Ayurvedic medicine for its holistic, therapeutic properties. It is filled with minerals that are insoluble, making them harder to be absorbed by the body.

Cooking with black salt is common, and it’s a popular element in Indian cuisine. It has volcanic origins and is composed of Sulphur compounds that contribute to its odour and flavor.
