BLACK SALT
IS KALA NAMAK. A type of natural volcanic halite (the mineral form of sodium chloride NaCI.It is a pungent purplish to pinkish grey rock salt used in India and indian spices. It has a sulfurous hard-boiled egg aroma. This is due to the contamination with sodium bisulfide in this rocky volcanic mineral.
Mined in the volcanic regions of India and Pakistan.
WHY IS BLACK SALT BENEFICIAL ?
Ayervedic doctors believe that SEA salt and especially ROCK SALT are the most beneficial forms of salt because they dont increase the sodium content of blood and therefore prescribe this to their patients suffering from high blood pressure.
It is also known as a rejuvenator while aiding digestion, constipation and improving eyesight and is high in iron.
Side effect : Using to much can lead to stomach cramps.
WHY AM I SHARING THIS WITH YOU ?
While browsing through sites looking for different gluten/dairy free breads, I came across a bread recipe calling for black salt.
I could not understand WHY as this was not a site aimed at High blood pressure or anything along those lines.
I am quite convinced that a lot of these recipes call for unnecessary ingredients to make it sound
SPECIAL, DIFFERENT.
People looking for information need the truth. Not garbage only there to increase sales.
