<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Kala_namak.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Ground black salt (Kala namak), showing its pinkish-grey color]]<br />
Black salt, most commonly known as Kala Namak, is a kiln-fired rock salt. Despite its name, the ground salt is actually a dusty pinkish-grey color. It is highly valued for its intense, pungent, sulfurous aroma, which strongly mimics the smell and taste of hard-boiled eggs.<br />
<br />
== Origin ==<br />
Kala Namak originates from the regions surrounding the Himalayas, primarily in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Raw rock salt is mined and then fired in a kiln for 24 hours sealed in a ceramic jar with charcoal and specific regional herbs/seeds, which instills the salt with its signature sulfur compounds.<br />
<br />
== Nutritional Information ==<br />
''Values based on a standard 100g (3.5 oz) serving. It is lower in sodium than regular salt but rich in iron and sulfur.''<br />
