This salt (Indian Kala Namak) contains trace amounts of sulfur compounds that give it a unique umami-like flavor, similar to a boiled egg. Sprinkle on salads and fruits, and add to curries, chutneys and buttermilk.
No anti-caking agents added. Lumps may form, which is natural and normal.
Other names: Kala namak, Himalayan black salt, Sulemani namak, bit lobon, kala noon, pada loon
Appearance: It ranges from brownish pink to dark violet translucent crystals when whole and has a light pink hue when ground
Typically used: Freshly ground; you can grind fresh using your favorite pepper mill.
Origin: The raw material for producing kala namak was originally obtained from natural halite from mines in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan in certain locations of the Himalayas salt ranges, or from salt harvested from the North Indian salt lakes of Sambhar Salt Lake or Didwana and the Mustang District of Nepal. The raw salts are fired in a furnace for 24 hours while sealed in a ceramic jar with charcoal along with small quantities of harad seeds, amla, bahera, babul bark, or natron. The fired salt is then cooled, stored, and aged prior to sale.
Flavor: Besides sodium chloride, this Kala Namak contains trace amounts of sulfur compounds that gives it a unique umami-like flavor, similar to a boiled egg.
Aroma: Sulfuric
Culinary uses: Sprinkle freshly ground black salt on salads, fruits, curries, chutneys and buttermilk for added flavor.
I DEARLY LOVE your company!!! I've always felt like sort of a part of your "family", and it all started with your black salt. I feel that it is the BEST black salt on the market! Not only does it crush easier & faster than ALL the others I've tried (even though the granules are actually LARGER and I always crush it the "old-fashioned way", using my simple mortar & pestle!), but I ALSO think the taste is MUCH better, which I never find in other brands: I find yours to be slightly more pungent, yet in a DELIGHTFULLY "stinky" way, not GROSS at all, which I often find in other brands!!! I use black salt in a large variety of my recipes, from sweet to savory, because I am 100% low-fat VEGAN, and I find that if I add just the right amount (not too much, but enough to add that somewhat "animal" flavor which I miss from from my carnivore days!) that even though my recipes contain ZERO animal products, your black salt adds that special "umami" flavor which I find is missing from so many vegan recipes
By the way, I would have LOVED to have made a video for you, but I am QUITE "technologically challenged", and actually don't even know HOW to make a video and send it via my phone. But I hope this written review helps someone try your black salt and also many of the other wonderful products you sell. Thanks for all you do for me and my cooking! Sincerely, with love, "cousin" Daryl Grant Lindsay. (Grin)

Really love this salt. A little goes a long way, pronounced sulfurous quality, and quite flavorful. It can really 'pop' the overall taste of whatever you're making.
Lisa A.
I was pleased in every way with my order. The product is wonderful and the service prompt and courteous.

I really love this black salt, a little sprinkle adds so much flavor to a meal! We put it on our dal and rice, and I love it sprinkled on baked squash with ghee!
Catherine B.
This salt is so delicious! I first bought a grinder and as it got toward the bottom rather quickly - I used it a lot- I decided to buy a bag to keep in my pantry and refill the grinder as needed. It tastes great on everything!

Thank you for the quick shipping . Appreciate the care taken with packing and the green packing materials that was used.
Though powdered Black salt is commonly available, granular Kala Namak is rarely seen . Happy to receive it

After sampling the Black Salt in the 4.5oz grinder bottle, we knew we needed more. It has become an indispensable healthy flavor enhancer par excellance in our kitchen, instantly improving every meal or sandwich or salad. It's addictively good, and a good deal too, since a little goes a long way. Goodbye Himalayan Pink Salt ... hello Black Salt full flavor.
Daryl Grant L.
This is the BEST and ONLY black salt I buy. It is WONDERFUL!!! (And FAR better than other sellers/distributors!) I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Black Indian Salt is a game changer
Black Indian Salt brings your favorite salty food to a new level. It tastes so good it feels like cheating. Himalayan Pink Salt isn't even close in flavor improvement.

Amazing Flavor
Not all salts are created equal - the Indian Kala Namak Black Salt adds a whole new dimension to food. It's a huge flavor enhancer that elevates food to a new level. I couldn't believe the flavor improvements.

Quality Black Salt
Excellent quality- coarse black salt. I recently ran out of a jar that I purchased in 2017 and once ground, had the full flavor (unlike the packets of black salt powder I’ve purchased at the Indian store).

Item shipped and arrived quickly. The salt was in perfect condition when it arrived I would buy again!

My First Experience With Pure Indian Foods Company
I am THRILLED to find your company! Prior to this, I'd been purchasing Black Salt from another company. But when I went to order it, they were out & didn't know when it'd be in. I was nearly out of the product & use it every day so I went on-line to find another source & I found you. After looking over your website, I ordered the product & couldn't be happier, both w/the product (BEST quality I've found, best price!) & the efficiency of your website & how FAST I received it. It was very well packaged & arrived in perfect condition. Again, I'm simply DELIGHTED to have found you, & I ASSURE you that, from now on, I will be ordering my black salt EXCLUSIVELY from you & anything else I may need from your wonderful company! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Very sincerely, DGL
Lula Thomas
Love it!!
My first arrived very quick and I love the black salt.

Love black salt!
Being vegans, and tofu lovers, black salt gives a perfect egg flavor. It's amazingly delicious! Got this as a gift to my son in Okinawa.
Stephanie Santos
Great product!
Great portion and should last me for a while! It is a great seasoning with really interesting flavor. Will definitely buy more when my supply runs low, but won't be for a while since I have so much!

Black salt is great
Have been looking to buy some black salt for a while. I went Plant-Based in January and many recipes rely on it. This product is great. Shipping was fast & the price was fair.

Happy to have a new black salt
The black salt is nicely coarse for my use, which is to grind finer in a salt grinder. Shipped day after I ordered. Thanks.
Jocelyn
Great!
Easy checkout. Fast delivery. Great product. I wanted the grinder but ended up with the course ground. I think it was my fat fingers clicking the wrong item, but its still great. I use black salt to get the “egg” flavor in my vegan food. I will order again.

Thank you!

Great Product
I have purchased black salt from other retailers and I like this one best. It is very flavorful and is ground medium fine. Some products I have purchased seemed to be less potent and I had to use alot to achieve that 'eggy' flavor but not this one. I will definitely be purchasing from here again.

Perfect

You learn something new every day
I had no idea that a salt (and a few other ingredients) could make Mung Daal (yellow) taste like eggs. Am allergic to eggs and the sulfur tang of this salt is key to making very tasty Vegan Scrambled "Eggs" - thank you so much. I feel Pure Indian Foods products are very high quality and so appreciate the ease of navigating through your website.
teresa ellington
Great
I never have used the salt before but heard good things. When I finally tried it with my tofu scramble I was amazed at how good it tasted !! Not really sure on the oil though. But appreciate the free gift .

Just what I needed
I needed this salt to make some vegan hard boiled eggs, and it worked beautifully! Amazing flavor in just one grain! It really does taste like eggs!
