Himalayan black salt

Black salt from India or “Kala namak” is a kind of salt form volcanic origin that is mainly used in hindu and Pakistani cuisine, and it can be found in the Himalayas. This sort of salt has not been refined and it holds a smaller salting power.  Compared to common salt it contains less sodium, which makes it suitable for those who need a diet low in sodium. It contains more hydrogen sulphur, which adds to a characteristic flavour that may remind us of fried or hard-boiled eggs. Just take some bread, oil and a pinch of this kind of salt in order to appreciate its peculiar taste. You can also use it for salads or when cooking “arros a banda”
