Kala Namak Himalayan Black Salt

Fox’s Spices Black Salt Kala Namak 250g is a naturally occurring rock salt commonly used in Indian and South Asian cooking. Known for its distinct sulphurous aroma and slightly tangy taste, this salt is especially popular in vegan recipes for its egg-like flavour.

Sourced from volcanic regions of the Himalayas, Kala Namak has a pinkish-grey hue and contains a blend of minerals that give it its characteristic scent and flavour. It is ideal for spicing up chutneys, raitas and fruit salads, or for seasoning street food classics like chaat and pani puri.

For those following a plant-based diet, it is often used as a seasoning in tofu scramble or vegan omelettes to replicate the taste of cooked eggs. This 250g pack is perfect for home cooks looking to explore bold seasoning options with authentic flavour.
