What makes it unique.
Did you know that the original source of the raw material used to produce kala namak is from natural halite found in mines across Bangladesh‚ India‚ Nepal‚ and Pakistan? These mines are typically located in specific areas of the Himalayas salt ranges. Alternatively‚ the salt can also be harvested from the North Indian salt lakes of Sambhar Salt Lake or Didwana‚ as well as from the Mustang District of Nepal.

To give it that distinctive flavor‚ the raw salts are carefully fired in a furnace for about 24 hours. They're sealed in ceramic jars with charcoal and small amounts of harad seeds‚ amla‚ bahera‚ babul bark‚ or natron. After this process‚ the salt is cooled‚ stored‚ and left to age before it's ready for sale.

It's as fascinating as it is addictively delicious!

Besides being tasty‚ Indian Black Salt has a long history and is important in Himalayan cooking. Families have been using it for a long time in their traditional dishes. Nowadays‚ it's also popular in other parts of the world as people explore different flavors in their cooking. So‚ if you're looking to try something new in the kitchen‚ this might just be the thing to add a little extra flavor to your meals!
