Himalayan black coarse salt 200 g

Product description Himalayan black coarse salt 200 g

Black salt from the foothills of the Himalayas comes from Pakistani volcanic deposits. Its black, sometimes even pinkish color is influenced by the content of minerals - especially iron. It is an unrefined salt whose crystals from mining to the final product do not undergo any chemical processing and the entire process is exclusively manual or mechanical. This makes it significantly different from ordinary table salt, which is refined and often enriched with other substances. Black salt comes from volcanic deposits in Pakistan, and its taste and smell can surprise those who taste it for the first time. In addition to the classic salty taste, you can also feel a distinct "egg" flavor in it, which is caused by the high sulfur content. However, it has an irreplaceable place in Indian cuisine. It is used in dishes such as chaat, raita dressings, chutney or in the chaat masala spice mixture. Locals also use it to season fresh fruit, such as bananas.

Use: The specific aroma and taste of black salt is perfect for Indian and vegan cuisine. It is especially suitable for cold kitchens, because its characteristic taste is lost through heat treatment. It is most often used to flavor sauces, chutneys or soups.

Country of origin: Pakistan
