Black Salt (Kala Namak or Sanchal)
Black salt is not actually black; it is more of a reddish and
grey color. Black salt cannot replace table salt or sea salt because
of its very distinct flavor. Black salt has a very distinct flavor
that other salts do not tend to have.
Black salt can be a great spice for many different foods and
is great for the body; here is what you can use black salt for:
• On fresh cut fruit
• Soups
• Salads
• Good for help with digestion
• Can help to improve eyesight
• Helps to lower high blood pressure
• Can help cure heartburn
• Fish
• Some meats
Black salt is not your normal salt; do not add it to just anything.
Make sure the recipe calls for black salt. This way you are not
ruining a dish by using the wrong salt. Black salt has a totally
different flavor than regular salt or sea salt.
