HIMALAYAN BLACK SALT
FORMAT: 380g Jar
DESCRIPTION: Known as Kala Namak, this natural mineral salt of volcanic origin is characterized by its dark pinkish-grey color and distinctive sulfuric aroma. With an intense, slightly smoky flavor, it is highly valued in Indian and vegan cuisine for providing a unique umami nuance reminiscent of boiled egg. Ideal for salads, fruits, legumes, tofu, and cold preparations.
INGREDIENTS: Granulated Himalayan black salt (Kala Namak).
ORIGIN: Pakistan
TASTING NOTES: It is a volcanic salt with a very characteristic flavor and aroma reminiscent of egg, due to its high content of sulfur compounds. It has a grayish or dark pink hue when granulated, which becomes lighter when ground, offering an umami profile and balanced salinity.
USES: It is an indispensable secret ingredient in vegan cuisine to imitate the flavor of egg in dishes such as "scrambled tofu," egg-free omelets, or vegan mayonnaise. In Indian cuisine, it is essential for preparing chaats, chutneys, and for seasoning fruits or refreshing drinks. It is recommended to add it at the end of preparation so that its sulfuric aroma is not lost with prolonged cooking.
STORAGE: Store in a dry, dark, and cool place.
ALLERGENS: May contain traces of Celery, Sesame, Gluten, and Mustard due to presence in the facilities.
