Yes, we do. Here at The Meadow, we call it Kala Namak Indian Black Salt. It's commonly used in vegan/vegetarian dishes, as it lends a sulfuric, eggy taste to many dishes, like tofu scrambles. It's also fantastic on curry!

We wrote the first ever book, in the history of ever, on Salt Block Cooking. It's called... Salt Block Cooking by Mark Bitterman (owner of The Meadow). And with more than 400,000 copies sold, we are dang proud of this book. Check it out! If you've ever watched a video on YouTube where someone's cooking on a salt block, you've likely seen content in action from this book.

Also, for BBQ lovers: We wrote a new book for grilling on a salt block called, you guessed it, Salt Block Grilling.

Yes, you sure can. We will be updating our guides to cooking on salt blocks. In the meantime, check out these old school, vintage guides we created some time ago.

We are lucky to carry an amazing selection of naturally vegan chocolate from an amazing community of beautiful artisan chocolate makers. That is to say, so many of the chocolates we sell contain only 2 or 3 ingredients: cacao, cocoa butter (vegan; naturally plant-derived from the cocoa pod); and sugar! We also just launched our own line of organic chocolate, much of which is vegan!
