How Is Kala Namak Made?

Kala Namak is actually manufactured by heating it up at extremely high temperatures in the kilns and then is mixed with the seed of Harad or Black Myrobalan tree to imbibe certain therapeutic properties to it.

Though Kala namak is quite famous in India, it is usually classified into three varieties worldwide- Black Lava Salt, Black Ritual Salt and Himalayan Rock Salt.

Black Lava Salt:

Also known as Hawaiian rock salt, this one possesses earthly flavour and is originated in Hawaii. It is known for adding a smoky flavour to the dishes and is often sprinkled on the dishes at the end of cooking.

Black Ritual Salt:

Black ritual salt is not edible as it is made from mixing ashes, charcoal, sea salt and some artificial black colour. Also known as witches salt, it is generally sprinkled around the house or kept it under the bed to ward off evil spirits and negativity.

Black Himalayan Salt:

It is the most used salt variety for its deep, savoury taste. It not only provides medicinal properties but also gives earthly flavour to the dish.

Kala Namak, also known as black salt, is a type of rock salt with a distinctive sulfurous aroma and taste.

• Sodium Chloride (NaCl): The primary component, similar to regular table salt.
• Sodium Sulfate (Na₂SO₄): A compound that contributes to the salt’s unique flavor.
• Iron Compounds: Including ferrous sulfate (FeSO₄) and greigite (Fe₃S₄), which give the salt its characteristic color and taste.
• Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): Responsible for the egg-like smell.
