Salt is the most popular and widely available seasoning. It is added to almost all dishes, including baked goods. However, few people know that common table salt has a cousin, black salt. Packed with extra minerals and nutrients, it claims to be a staple in your kitchen.

There are two popular types of salt called black salt.

Exotic, volcanic or Himalayan, or Indian, black salt, "Kala-namak". It is mined mainly in Pakistan and India. It is not quite black, in a piece it has a dark brown-red hue, almost black. When milled, it becomes a pale pink color. It is explained by the chemical composition of the salt, which, in addition to sodium chloride, is rich in iron sulfide and magnesium. It has a characteristic smell of hydrogen sulfide and for this reason is not very common. When added to hot food, the salt darkens to black.
Orthodox, black (Thursday) salt. It is not mined, but produced by kneading it into a dough with spices and roasting it in an oven in coals. During such processing, in 12 hours all organic matter burns out, and salt crystals are charred and saturated with calcium, magnesium, iron and other useful elements. In Russia, such salt was prepared during Holy Week, at night from Wednesday to Thursday, and, in addition to medicinal, magical properties were often attributed to it. In modern culture, this salt is prepared all year round.

So, first things first.

Compound: sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfide, ferrous sulfide and hydrogen sulfide.

Besides its taste, Himalayan black salt is popular for its health benefits as well as its ability to preserve food.

It is useful for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, flatulence, gas in the intestines, bloating. Increases immunity, stimulates digestion and normalizes metabolism. Able to cleanse the body of toxins and toxins. It is often recommended for people with high blood pressure as it contains less sodium than regular table salt.

It helps with indigestion as it is a good nutritional stimulant, balances the production of acid in the stomach and bile in the liver. Helps digest food, wards off constipation and increases appetite.

Useful for acidity and heartburn. It is full of minerals resulting from exposure to high temperatures, which makes it very suitable for the regulation of acidity. Reduces acid reflux. Best of all in this case is a combination with coriander, caraway and fennel in equal proportions.

You can also try adding this salt to lemon water to improve digestion. Due to the high content of iron compounds, this salt is useful for iron deficiency anemia.

Prevents osteoporosis, a disorder where our body starts extracting sodium from our bones, thereby reducing their strength. This condition can be prevented by drinking plenty of water along with a pinch of black salt.

It is super effective in the fight against excess weight due to its dissolving and disintegrating effect on enzymes and lipids.

Can be used to gargle. And also as a filler for an inhaler for colds, flu, sore throat and other respiratory diseases. If there is no inhaler, then it is enough to throw a teaspoon of salt in boiling water and breathe in the steam for a few minutes.

The fact that Kala-namak can be used as a bath salt will be important for women. It has a miraculous effect on chapped and swollen feet, skin, sprains, and is effective against warts. In short, while you are enjoying the bath, your body is healed with a pure, natural product. In addition, it delicately opens pores, removes oily skin, while leaving it with a healthy glow.

Thanks to its high content of essential minerals, Himalayan salt strengthens hair, stimulates its natural growth, thickens each individual hair and enhances the overall shine.

The harm from Himalayan salt

Kala Namak black salt is eminently safe in small, dietary amounts. It should not exceed 6 grams (sodium in it is about 2.3 grams) per day. The therapeutic amount of black salt is less than the dietary amount and is used in conjunction with other herbs and spices. These herbal mixtures usually contain 250 to 500 mg of black salt, which is also significantly safer.

In addition, avoid prolonged exposure to salt water, as it can dry out the body, making it unattractive.

The benefits of Thursday salt

A product known from ancient times for its exceptional qualities. In terms of salinity, it does not differ from ordinary cooking, but it has a more pungent aftertaste.

After calcining in the oven, this salt has a high calcium content, which is especially beneficial when it comes to bones, teeth and muscles. And also: magnesium, potassium, iron, iodine, copper, zinc, etc.

It also contains less sodium than regular salt, so it is recommended to consume this salt for those who suffer from high blood pressure. Water will not be retained in the body, and the need for diuretics will decrease.

With regular use, quaternary salt helps cleanse the intestines, as it is rich in carbon, which acts as a sorbent, absorbs and removes toxic substances, toxins, heavy metals. Promotes healing of the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, improves digestion and metabolism. Has a laxative effect. Improves appetite.

A solution of this salt in water with honey can be used to rinse and heal gums. By rinsing your mouth with Thursday salt, you will eliminate unpleasant odors and make your breath much fresher. It can also be used as a cosmetic product. Has a smoothing and tightening effect on the skin. Rejuvenates, relieves dryness and flaking.

In culture, it is believed that quaternary salt has magical powers. People used to believe that if you put a pinch of such salt in an amulet on your neck, it will save you from an evil eye.

Harm from Thursday salt

Like Himalayan, and indeed any other, quaternary salt can be harmful if consumed excessively.

If you abuse it, then the medicinal product will become poison and gradually poison the body with sodium, causing an increase in blood pressure, worsening blood circulation, kidney problems, edema and fluid accumulation in the body.

Where can I get black salt?

Black (Thursday) salt can be bought from healers, in villages, and whether found in a store or pharmacy. With the proper skill and equipment, you can cook it yourself. Indian volcanic salt can also be found in stores, pharmacies and supermarkets. After all, both products can be ordered online.

Obviously, both types of salt in moderation have extremely positive effects on the human body. Foods seasoned with this salt is tastier, softer and more positive, with less risk of damage from common table or sea salt. In addition, this salt fights a number of diseases, arthritis, cholesterol and even impotence.

Since I decided to post my recipe for peanut masala nuts for beer, it became necessary to acquaint the cooks with one of the ingredients of this dish - black Indian salt. I looked through the Internet, studied the information and realized: the material is quite voluminous, so it is better to put it in a diary.

I want to warn you right away: black Indian salt has nothing to do with black (or Thursday) salt, which is prepared in a special way in Russia.

So. Black salt, called Kala Namak or Sanchal in India, is a natural unrefined salt extracted from volcanic rocks found primarily in the sulfur lakes of northern India and Pakistan.

As you can see in the picture, it is not black at all. And it got its name "black salt" because of its special property - when it comes into contact with the wet surface of food products, this fine-crystalline pale pink substance turns black.
The main mineral component of Indian black salt is sodium chloride. However, the content of this substance in black salt Kala Namak is significantly lower than in common salt for all of us.
Kala Namak Black Salt is extremely rich in iron and sulfur compounds. It is thanks to the iron sulfide contained in this natural product that the Kala Namak salt has a pinkish tint, and the sulfur compounds present there determine its specific sulphurous smell and characteristic sour "egg" taste.
Black Indian salt Kala Namak also has a high content of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iodine necessary for the human body.

CULINARY APPLICATIONS OF KALA NAMAK INDIAN SALT

Black salt is the main ingredient in Chat Masala, which is widely used in India.

It is often added to various cold snacks, sauces, pickles and marinades (they are called "achar"), soups.

Fruit and vegetable salads, Indian vegetable stew "sabji", traditional yoghurt salads "raity" are not complete without it. It gives an exceptional taste even to fruit juices and soft drinks.

A variety of snacks (chips, masala nuts, papadams, etc.) are inconceivable without black Indian salt.

Used daily by every housewife in India and Pakistan, black salt is served as a gourmet spice in high-end American and European restaurants. At the same time, Kala Namak is a favorite seasoning of vegetarians in many countries of the world. This is mainly due to the fact that Indian black salt, when added to some foods, is able to mimic the taste of a real chicken egg.
Used by gourmets as a seasoning and a substitute for table salt for a pungent taste and aroma, Kala Namak Black Indian Salt blends harmoniously with all egg dishes. At the same time, it subtly emphasizes and sets off the natural taste of sheep and goat cheeses, as well as paneer (Adyghe cheese) made from cow's milk.

USEFUL PROPERTIES OF KALA NAMAK BLACK SALT

Widely known in Ayurveda (the traditional system of Indian medicine), black salt has the following beneficial properties:

Activates intestinal motility and has a mild laxative effect
- Improves the digestion of food like digestive enzymes, and also helps to eliminate flatulence and heartburn
- Has a beneficial effect on the functional state of the visual apparatus
- Helps improve brain function.

It is worth noting that the black Indian salt Kala Namak retains water in the body to a much lesser extent than the traditionally eaten table salt, in which the sodium chloride content is much higher. It is for this reason that Indian black salt is a great alternative to table salt for kidney disease and gout. In addition, it is a useful substitute for table salt for hypertensive patients who are required to limit the amount of salt in their diet, as well as for those who follow a low-salt diet for weight loss.

For those who want to eat healthier, but are not ready to give up salt, there are two great alternatives - Himalayan pink salt and black Indian salt (kala namak)... Despite the fact that these are two completely different salts, they are often confused. Therefore, more about them below.

Himalayan salt, black salt and other table salt alternatives

There are many other alternatives to table salt. The most popular is sea salt, which contains many trace elements in addition to sodium chloride. But due to pollution of the environment and the seas as well, this salt also contains harmful elements. Another great way to reduce your salt intake is to use ground kelp seaweed as salt. You can buy ground kelp at a pharmacy and add salt to ready meals or salads. In addition to its salty flavor, it also adds a spice to the dish due to its marine origin. It is also worth mentioning that by using spices, you can reduce the amount of salt in the dish without losing taste. Indeed, when a bright bouquet of spices is used in cooking, there is no need to heavily salt dishes for taste sensations. Look for inspiration, such as Indian cuisine, which is rich in spices.

What is Himalayan Pink Salt

Himalayan salt acquired its name due to the fact that it is actually mined in the Himalayas. This salt is very many millions of years old, and these salt deposits were formed even before India became part of the continent of Eurasia, then in the place of the Himalayas there was a world ocean. That is why the Himalayan salt is considered pure, since at the time of the formation of these deposits, the planet was not yet polluted. Pink Himalayan salt is named precisely because of its color. Unlike ordinary table salt, Himalayan salt (if it is real) contains from 80 to 90 trace elements, but the content of sodium chloride itself is less. Therefore, Himalayan salt is considered healthier (or less harmful) than regular white salt. It can be a godsend for those who suffer from edema due to fluid retention in the body - it does not lead to such a phenomenon (naturally, when used in normal and not excessive amounts). The taste of Himalayan salt is almost the same as that of ordinary table salt. The only thing is that it is a little less salty, but its salinity is so capacious that it seems as if it captures more taste buds. Therefore, there is no need to salt it more. Himalayan salt can completely replace the use of regular table salt. Also, Himalayan salt can be successfully used to cleanse the body by taking a solution from it on an empty stomach every day. And it's not for nothing that salt lamps are made from it, which clean the room - after all, it is really useful.

What is Indian Black Salt or Kala Namak

Black Indian salt got its name in translation from Indian, where in the common people it is called "kala namak". In appearance, this salt is not at all black - but pale pink, which is exactly what it becomes when finely ground. But in a piece, this salt has a really black color, hence the name. Also, when ingested and saturated with moisture, this salt darkens. Kala namak consists of sodium chloride with admixtures of iron sulfide, magnesium and hydrogen sulfide. The fact is that the shifts of tectonic plates led to volcanic activity and salt deposits, including mixed with magma, were also saturated with hydrogen sulfide. It is hydrogen sulfide that makes this type of salt very special because of its characteristic smell, which this salt is rich in. Yes, Indian black salt has a specific smell of boiled yolk, but you shouldn't be afraid of that. On the contrary, this property can be successfully used in cooking as a highlight of a dish, or when replacing the same eggs in classic recipes. Kala namak, like the Himalayan, in contrast to the cooked one, does not increase the sodium content in the body, therefore it can also be suitable for heart patients and those who suffer from edema. And Ayurveda (ancient Indian medicine) claims that this salt is able to cure flatulence and heartburn, and all thanks to its high iron content.

Is table salt harmful?

Scientists are still arguing about the dangers or benefits of table salt for the human body. It is believed that table salt is especially harmful for people with impaired cardiovascular function, since an excess of sodium in the body increases blood pressure. They also say that an excess of table salt can increase the risk of cataract due to the same ability of sodium to increase blood pressure. But without salt, the dishes are no longer so tasty. Therefore, we suggest using healthier alternatives - Himalayan salt and black salt.
Enjoy cooking and be healthy!

Ayurveda divides food into 6 flavors, the presence of which is necessary in our diet; The source of the salty taste is salt (which, in general, is not surprising 🙂). It can enhance other tastes as well. However, not all salt is created equal.

The habitual white table salt, when consumed in excess, can cause problems such as high blood pressure, thyroid disease, paralysis, and even impotence. But there are alternatives to white salt.

Indian black salt: benefits

So what is black salt good for? In Ayurveda, it is considered a cooling spice and is used to improve digestion. It also reduces flatulence in the intestines and helps with heartburn. She also lowers Vata dosha.

Gastritis and bloating

This salt is found in various Ayurvedic stomach preparations (such as Hingwastak Churna, for example). It stimulates digestion without irritating the stomach or aggravating existing gastritis.

Another beneficial property of black salt is to relieve constipation, which is especially common in Vata people. When used regularly in the diet, this salt will significantly alleviate the problem.

Ayurveda even has a special term for black salt - Vibandhaghna, which means that it helps with constipation and gas formation.

Gas Recipe: Heat black salt in a copper jug or skillet until it changes color, then add it to warm water and swallow it.

Medicinal properties

Himalayan black salt (another name for it) can act as a laxative, can correct some intestinal disturbances, and can also help improve vision.

These properties are manifested due to the fact that, compared to regular salt, it does not increase the amount of sodium in the blood. At the same time, it is high in sulfur, which reduces the digestive fire - therefore, if you have poor digestion, you should avoid a large amount of black Indian salt in your food.

Himalayan black salt: benefits for the skin

Add this salt to room temperature water, stir well, and you have a kind of indoor hot spring! Due to its high sulfur content, salt helps to relieve various pains and also acts as a natural disinfectant.

It can be used while taking a bath - so you get rid of dry skin, itching, and even more serious diseases - eczema and psoriasis. Warm water opens the pores of the skin, improves blood circulation, moisturizes the skin tissue, and in addition to this, the beneficial effects of black salt.

Black rock salt can be used as a scrub: blood flow in the skin is improved, and a shine appears. You can just as well whiten your teeth and freshen your mouth. To enhance the effect, you can mix this salt with mustard oil. And if you rinse her sore throat, then it will clear.

The black salt scrub is suitable for the care of the skin of the hands and feet: it removes dead cells without drying out the skin. You can soak your feet in water with this salt: cracks heal and yellowness disappears from under the nails.

To cleanse your skin before bed: Mix a teaspoon or tablespoon (whichever is best for you) of black salt with your cleanser, and gently rub it over your skin. Take off your makeup before doing this.

It can be used to treat dandruff and sometimes severe hair loss. To do this, you need to mix black salt with tomato juice (in proportions suitable for you) and take at least once a day. This will give your hair good nutrition, thicker and shiny hair.

Other useful and medicinal properties of black Indian salt

Blood pressure: It serves as a good substitute for regular salt for people with high blood pressure. contains less sodium than regular white salt.

Aphrodisiac: The commercial version of this salt uses the seeds of the Haritaki plant (found in Triphala), which have similar properties.

Laxative: Take this salt, mix with lemon and ginger, take orally as needed. Lemon: you can take juice or slices (juicy) - see which is more convenient in your case.

Constipation: Black salt does not retain water in the body, but rather promotes its secretion through osmosis. In addition to this, it improves digestion and reduces the formation of gas in the intestines, as well as reduces stool density - all of which add up to a good effect in relieving constipation.

Joint Pain: Helps in the treatment of arthritis and paralysis.

Intestines: normalizes intestinal activity and restores electrolyte balance.

Anemia: with regular use, there is an improvement in human condition.

Inflammations: Water with this salt, when treated externally, helps with infections and inflammation.

Immune System: Black salt is a natural immune stimulant.

Increased acidity: Himalayan black salt has an alkalizing effect on the body, thereby reducing acidity. It should be noted, however, that this, to a greater extent, applies to those varieties of black salt that have not undergone heat treatment.

Excess weight: As it improves the absorption of food, the optimal breakdown of fats occurs, which contributes to weight loss and normalization of weight.

Respiration: This salt reduces airway inflammation; mucus secretion decreases. If you put a pinch of black salt on your tongue, breathing will become easier, i.e. it is able to act like an inhaler without any side effects (if not overused).

Cholesterol: Lowers high blood cholesterol as well as high blood pressure, which helps to normalize the heart rate. Also prevents atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes.

Diabetes mellitus: Black rock salt can reduce insulin dependence by maintaining normal blood sugar levels.

Osteoporosis: 1/4 of all salt in the body is "stored" in the bones, which makes them strong. When the body loses salt and water, minerals are washed out of the bone, which can lead to osteoporosis. Regular consumption of water and salt (black in particular), along with good nutrition, prevents this problem.

Muscle cramps and colic: The potassium in black salt helps muscles to function properly. Also, thanks to this salt, muscles better absorb potassium from food, thereby preventing muscle pain, spasms and colic.

Depression: Both black and rock salt are very helpful in treating various types of depression. Salt stores two important hormones in the body, serotonin and melatonin, which can help you feel better, relax and sleep well at night.

The harm of black salt

In moderation, in terms of the daily diet, black salt is usually safe - i.e. we are talking about doses no more than 2.5 g per day. The therapeutic dose is lower; however, it is often used along with other herbs and spices, and such mixtures contain from 250 mg to 500 mg of black salt - this amount is completely safe.

When consumed in excess, Indian black salt can raise blood pressure (just like regular salt). On the other hand, it is this type of salt that is recommended for people with high blood pressure, since it contains less sodium than white. The whole question is how much we use for food.

In other words, the harm of black salt can be similar to the negative effects of regular salt if we overuse it.

Indian black salt is often confused with Thursday. In fact, these are two completely different products.

activates thought processes and the work of the brain as a whole;
has a positive effect on the functioning of the visual apparatus;
does not retain water in the body. It is due to this property that partial or complete replacement of white salt with black salt has a beneficial effect on the health of the kidneys.

One of the main benefits of black salt is its ability not to increase the level of sodium in the body, as it happens with the use of ordinary table salt. That is why Kala Namak is allowed to be consumed by hypertensive patients, while they are advised to strictly limit white salt.

Compound

In addition to the main component - sodium chloride, Kala Namak contains traces of mineral impurities, such as:

iron... Prevents the appearance of anemia, eliminates heartburn, provides oxygenation of body tissues, supports the thyroid gland, has a beneficial effect on the nervous system;
magnesium... Takes part in enzymatic reactions, participates in protein production, removes toxins from the body, increases the stability of the cell structure, promotes regeneration processes;
potassium... Regulates the water balance in the body, normalizes the heart rate, participates in the conduction of nerve impulses, makes muscles more durable;
calcium... Supports the health of bones, dental tissue, ensures the functioning of the cardiovascular system, participates in the process of muscle contraction, normalizes the excitability of nerve fibers;
iodine... Stimulates immunity, regulates metabolic processes, protects against bacteria, increases mental performance.

Mode of application

Black salt is an essential ingredient in many Indian dishes.... In particular, Kala Namak is an obligatory ingredient in a sauce called chat masala, and it is also added to fruit and vegetable salads, pickles, cold snacks, roasted nuts, etc.

Black salt harmoniously combines with the taste of all dishes, which include eggs, its piquant taste and interesting aroma can set off the taste of goat or sheep cheese made from the milk of the Adyghe cheese.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to completely replace white salt, since Kala Namak has a specific smell and taste. But, given the rich mineral composition and beneficial properties, this product should still be available for every housewife.

Contraindications
