Kala Namak

Kala Namak (black salt)

sulfurous salty

Can contain traces of cellery, mustard and sesame seeds

India

Kala Namak, also known as black salt, is, like normal table salt, mainly made of sodium chloride. However, it has a very special sulfur aroma, which is reminiscent of boiled eggs and is therefore ideal for vegan cuisine to get an egg flavor on the dishes. The black color actually comes through the reduction with charcoal, but in the end the color is rather reddish, due to its high iron content.

This item is delivered in a small spice can with aroma lid.

Its sulfurous taste, reminiscent of boiled eggs, makes it ideal for vegan cuisine to get an egg flavor on the dishes.

Only add towards the end, as the sulfur aromas are volatile.

Mayonnaise, aioli or sauce Hollandaise refined with Kala Namak, gives it a wonderfully typical taste. But it also fits wonderfully on avocado breads or chutneys and curries.
