Black Salt (Kala Namak) – Naturally Mineral-Rich & Flavor-Enhancing Salt from the Himalayas

Discover the authentic flavor and time-tested wellness benefits of Black Salt, also known as Kala Namak or Himalayan Black Salt, with Herbolaya. Revered for its distinctive aroma and therapeutic properties, this mineral-rich salt has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic healing, traditional recipes, and natural remedies.

What Makes Herbolaya’s Black Salt Unique?

• Authentic Source & Natural Purity: Sourced from deep within the Himalayan region, our black salt retains its natural mineral content, giving it a greyish-pink hue and mildly sulphuric aroma—a true sign of purity.

• Unrefined & Additive-Free: We offer naturally sun-dried salt, free from chemicals, preservatives, or anti-caking agents. It’s a 100% vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO alternative to table salt.

• Perfect for Cooking & Wellness: Add it to chaats, raitas, chutneys, fruits, and classic Indian dishes like pani puri or chaas. It’s also a popular seasoning in vegan egg substitutes due to its umami, egg-like flavor.

Health Benefits of Black Salt

• Supports Digestion: Used traditionally in Ayurveda, Kala Namak is known for relieving indigestion, gas, and bloating.

• Lowers Sodium Intake: Compared to regular table salt, black salt contains less sodium, making it a safer option for those with high blood pressure or sodium-sensitive conditions.

• Rich in Essential Minerals: Contains over 80 trace minerals, including iron, magnesium, and potassium, which help balance electrolytes, support hydration, and aid metabolism.

• Alkalizing Effect: Its natural alkalinity helps neutralize stomach acid and reduces symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.
