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
