Kala Namak salt is also known as Indian black salt. When ground, this salt turns a brownish-pink colour and has a slight sulphurous taste, which gives it a smoky, spicy, egg-like flavour. This salt is rich in minerals, particularly iron. Kala Namak has a very distinctive smell. The sulphur compounds give the salt the scent of a hard-boiled egg.<\/span><\/p>\n Kala namak has been used since ancient times and is said to have been identified by Maharishi Charak, the father of Ayurvedic medicine, around 300 BCE.
