Kala Namak Indian Salt
This is THE salt for Vegan cooking!!! Deep within the Himalayan salt range lies a huge vein of sulfur which gives this amazing salt the taste of hard-boiled eggs.
Kala Namak literally translates to 'Black Salt' and when harvested, the salt is jet black and baked in traditional methods, then pulverized giving it its purplish hue.
A staple in Pakistani, Indian, and Nepalese cuisine, this salt is used as a condiment but also works really well in Chaats, Daal, Curries, on top of fruits, but it's main use here in the West is in Vegan & Vegetarian cooking due to its eggy flavor!
Try this fabulous salt on watermelon, strawberries, in lentil curry, for stir-fry, and anything you want that egg-flavor without the egg!
Ingredients: Salt with trace amounts of sulfur

So the current reviews on the Kala Namak seem to be for the wrong product, so I just wanted to weigh in on this one. I just eliminated all seasonings except salt from my diet, so to keep from going completely nuts I just ordered about the entire Steel City Salt catalog. Everything is delicious but this one was the biggest surprise!! I honestly ordered it more out of curiosity, and frankly I did not expect it to taste good. Salt that "tastes like eggs" didn't seem that appetizing. Plus I eat eggs all the time. But this salt is super delicious! I'm not even sure what I'm going to put it on yet, I just keep sneaking pinches out of the jar. It sure does taste of sulphur, and thus kinda like eggs - but it is still super yummy. This one is a very fine powder which is neat and I think it would be interesting on popcorn. Anyway just had to share, give it a try!
Fabulous, fresh and flavorful.
