Black rock salt, known as "Kala Namak" in Hindi, is one of the most fascinating and distinctive ingredients in South Asian cooking. Despite its name, this volcanic salt ranges in colour from deep purplish-black in its rock form to a delicate pinkish-grey once ground, and it is the unique sulphurous compounds it contains that give it its remarkable, pungent, egg-like aroma and flavour. Lioncroft's Black Rock Salt Powder is finely ground and ready to use, bringing the authentic taste of this extraordinary mineral salt straight to your kitchen.

Kala Namak is an essential ingredient in Indian chaat masala, the beloved street food spice blend that seasons everything from papri chaat to fruit salads, pani puri water, and raita. Its sulphurous character makes it uniquely prized in vegan and plant-based cooking, where it is used to replicate the flavour of eggs in dishes such as vegan omelettes, scrambles, and mayonnaises. It is also a key component of traditional cooling drinks such as jaljeera and aam panna. In Ayurvedic tradition, black salt is valued for its digestive properties and is believed to balance the body's natural energies. Lioncroft's Black Rock Salt Powder brings this extraordinary, irreplaceable ingredient to your table in a convenient, consistently ground form.
