What is Black Salt?

Black Salt is a volcanic rock salt traditionally produced by heating raw salt with natural herbs and charcoal. This process gives it its characteristic dark color and sulfur-rich aroma. Despite its name, the color typically ranges from pinkish-grey to deep purple rather than pure black.

Its unique sulfur compounds are responsible for the slightly smoky taste that makes it popular in chaats, fruits, raitas, chutneys, and refreshing drinks. Because of its strong flavor profile, only a small quantity is required to enhance dishes.
