Black Salt is often referred to as ‘Kala Namak' or simply ‘Sanchal’ even though it is actually deep pink in colour. It’s a beautiful unrefined table salt that can help enhance the flavours of a dish. It is a special type of mineral salt from India, mined from a volcanic rock salt mined in central India.

Kala Namak is used in Indian cuisine as a seasoning, most commonly used with snack foods. It is used in chaats (fruit glazes), chutneys, raitas (yoghurt and cucumber mixes), fruit salads, and savoury deep-fried snacks.

The ground salt is not black, but more of a coral pink or pinkish grey, and has a distinctive sulphurous mineral taste (like a hard-boiled egg). These colours come from trace minerals, such as magnesium, as well as volcanic iron.

Store in a cool dry place away from sunlight.
