Description

Kala Namak, or Indian Black Salt (also called Nirav Black Salt or Sanchal), is a special unrefined mineral salt from Darjeeling, India. It is a volcanic rock salt mined in central India. The ground salt is not black, but more of a coral pink or pinkish gray, and has a strong, sulfuric flavor. These colors come from the presence of trace minerals such as magnesium, as well as volcanic iron.

Kala Namak is used in Indian cuisine as a condiment, most commonly with snack foods. It is used in chaats (fruit glazes), chutneys, raitas (yogurt and cucumbers mixes), fruit salads, and savory deep-fried snacks. The finishing salt has a strong sulfur taste and smell. While this unique quality is often diffused when cooked, it nonetheless adds a special taste of eggs.

"Its slightly sulfuric qualities taste great on darn near everything & leaves regular table salt in the dust."

Marvelous flavor, grain size too large

I’ve enjoyed your Kala Namak for years, and I use both the fine grain. and coarse grain versions. My previous coarse grain jar was just the right size, but the new one purchased was far too large grains to be used without further processing. The sizes vary extremely widely from one jar to the next. Very frustrating.

Dear Abbott,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you have been enjoying our Kala Namak for years. We apologize that the larger grain size of your recent purchase did not meet your expectations. Our team is constantly working to maintain consistency in all products, but sometimes there may be variations in the size of the grains.

Please know that we take your feedback seriously and do agree with you that, upon refelction, the previous grain size is more approachable and easy to use size. We will work with our supplier in 2025 to get the more 'medium' fine grain size. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to us for any further assistance.

Thank you for your support and we hope to continue serving you Kala Namak for years to come!

Brilliant salts as nd swift service!

Thank you Christopher for the kind words!

So good.

I transitioned away from conventional hot chocolate a few years ago and discovered drinking chocolate. This is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had, with peppermint to boot!

We love it!

Yummy

Smooth with the right amount of orange flavor. I never mind fruit pieces in my chocolate, but this had none & still had a nice, subtle flavor. Can't wait to buy this one again!

Hi Shanz! Chocolate and orange happens to be one of my favorite flavor combinations and I agree that this bar in particular hits it out of the park. It's so good. Thank you so much for this lovely review! -Amanda

Very Flavorful!

This is the third time that I've purchased this salt. The little jar lasts a long time because you only need a pinch. I put it on all types of food to add an oomph of flavor. Then it's fun to lick my finger and get the spicy kick!

Thank you so much for this lovely review Rene! This is definitely one of our favorite and most unique salts. A great conversation starter as well :)
