Kala namak is a non-iodized mountain salt produced in an artisanal manner in the pink salt mines of the Himalayas. It is very rich in sulfur, has a pronounced hard-boiled egg smell and a salty taste.

In Hindi, kala means black and namak means salt. However, this black salt is above all a pink salt – dark purple in color tending to pink once ground – transformed to give a typical color and aroma. If kala namak is more and more often made from industrial salts, the one we sell comes only from pink salt from Himalayan mines. This is an amazing salt worth discovering.
