Kala Namak Indian Black Salt 100g Damaged Packaging BBE09.2028

Steenbergs Kala Namak Indian Black Salt 100g is a distinctive rock salt prized for its characteristic sulphurous, slightly smoky flavour. Despite the name “black salt”, kala namak is typically dark purple-pink when ground and deeper in colour in its coarse form.

Traditionally used in North Indian cuisine, kala namak is a key ingredient in dishes such as chaat masala, potato chaat and chaat puri. Its unique aroma softens during cooking, leaving a subtle savoury depth. It’s also popular in vegan cooking, where it adds an egg-like note to plant-based dishes.

Sourced from halite deposits formed from ancient seas and processed using traditional heating methods, this culinary salt contains mainly sodium chloride along with naturally occurring trace minerals that give it its colour and flavour.
