Kala Namak (Himalayan Black Salt) (3 Pack)

Kala Namak (Himalayan Black Salt)

Kala Namak, also known as 'Himalayan black salt', is a kiln-fired rock salt with a sulphurous, pungent smell mined in the regions surrounding the Himalayas of Nepal. It is used widely in South Asia & has an unmistakable pungency & taste due to its naturally high sulphur/sulphite mineral content. It also has naturally high concentrations of magnesium & iron.

Kala Namak is especially popular with vegans or those avoiding animal products because its sulphur smell & taste makes a wonderful substitute for egg & makes great scrambled 'eggs' using tofu instead. Once cooked, the flavour becomes milder & not so 'eggy'. 

Traditionally, the salt is transformed from its relatively colourless, raw natural form by firing the harvested raw salt rocks in a kiln for 24 hours, sealed in a ceramic jar with charcoal & small quantities of seeds & bark. The fired-salt melts, the natural chemical reaction occurs & the salt is cooled, stored & aged for the flavours to develop. Almost black in rock-form, ours is finely ground with no additives for convenience. Once ground, the once-black salt rocks become more of a pinky colour.

With it's rich, almost-smoky, 'volcanic' taste, Kala Namak is especially popular in Indian cuisine, especially North Indian cooking & is widely used in making salt blends like chaat masala, potato chaat or chaat puri.

For a delicious vegan scrambled 'egg' dish, use this simple recipe:

  • use a block of firm tofu, drained & broken into small chunks with your fingers or a fork
  • heat in a frying pan with a drizzle of Rapeseed oil, add 1 tsp of Curry Powder, 1/2 tsp Turmeric & a good pinch of Kala Namak
  • stir well to coat everything in the spices whilst gently heating for 6-7 mins, then serve!

This works as a tasty filling for wraps or with avocado.

Kala Namak is also considered a 'cooling spice' in Ayurveda, used as a laxative & digestive aid.

Like so many in our range, this is another that’s sugar-free, gluten-free, paleo and vegan too. With no fillers or anything artificial, our unique blend of herbs and spice create the purest, freshest flavour possible to give your food attitude.

I bought the Strawberry and Mint and it's delicious. Not too sweet like other fruit infused vinegar I have tried, the balsamic flavour really comes through. I add it to lemonade with ice and a sprig of mint for a non-alcoholic take on a Pimms and it's perfect.

Not worth the money. Pots are very small and description is very misleading. Each pot would not give you more than one meal. So tiny feel very ripped off
