The manufacturers of Black Salt have stated that the packaging is free from plastic.
Black salt is a pinkish coloured salt. The distinct flavour of this salt makes it different from table salt and sea salt.
It is used as a condiment in preparing various chaats, raitha, chutneys, etc.
It is also used as a key ingredient in preparing snacks like the mint-flavoured pani puri.
Many Indian deep-fried snacks use black salt as a flavouring agent. It is sprinkled on top of the snacks to lend its characteristic sulphurous sour flavour.
Since the sodium level in black salt is less as compared to table salt, it is prescribed to patients with high blood pressure or those on low salt diets.
It is also known for comforting intestinal gas trouble.
