Organic Black Salt | Pure Indian

Pure Indian Black Salt, traditionally known as Kala Namak, is a distinctive mineral salt widely used in Indian and Ayurvedic cooking. Known for its characteristic savoury aroma and sulphurous, slightly egg-like flavour, just a small amount can add remarkable depth and complexity to a variety of dishes.

Kala Namak is especially popular in traditional Indian recipes such as chaat, chutneys, raita and spice blends. It has also become a favourite ingredient in plant-based cooking, where its distinctive flavour can bring an egg-like character to tofu scrambles and other vegan dishes.

Why You'll Love It

Distinctive Savoury Flavour
Naturally characterised by a strong mineral and sulphurous flavour that adds complexity to both traditional and contemporary recipes.

Traditional Indian Ingredient
Widely used throughout Indian cuisine to season chaats, chutneys, raita, fruit, vegetables and savoury snacks.

Excellent for Plant-Based Cooking
Its naturally egg-like aroma makes Kala Namak particularly useful for tofu scramble, vegan egg dishes, chickpea preparations and plant-based sauces.

A Little Goes a Long Way
Kala Namak has a distinctive flavour, so only a small amount is generally required to transform and enhance a dish.

How to Use

Use sparingly as a seasoning or finishing salt. Sprinkle over salads, fresh fruit, vegetables, raita and savoury dishes, or incorporate into chutneys and traditional Indian spice blends. For plant-based cooking, add a small pinch to tofu scramble, chickpea dishes or vegan sauces to create a distinctive savoury, egg-like flavour. Adjust gradually according to taste.

Good to Know

Kala Namak naturally has a noticeable sulphurous aroma and may appear pinkish-grey, purple-grey or darker depending on its form and processing. This is characteristic of this style of salt.
