Black Salt (Kala Namak) 100g

Black salt is a popular ingredient used in many different cuisines. It can be mined in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Cyprus. However, the most famous type of black salt is Kala Namak, which comes from the Hawaiian island of Molokai. Kala Namak is unique because of the way it’s made. First, water is filtered and then poured into volcanic rock bowls. The water is then exposed to the sun so that it evaporates and the salt mixes with minerals like iron and chlorine. The charcoal content gives the salt its black color. Kala Namak has a bitter rather than salty taste, which is why it’s often used as an addition to dishes rather than a substitute for salt. Its egg-like aftertaste makes it a great addition to vegetarian and fish dishes.
