Kala Namak is otherwise black salt. It is mined in several places around the world including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Cyprus. The cradle of Kala Namak salt is the Hawaiian island of Molokai, where mining began. Black salt owes its properties to the manufacturing process. The initial stage is water filtration and subsequent pouring into special bowls made of volcanic rock. When exposed to sunlight, the water evaporates and the salt remains on the ground. The dark color is due to the high proportion of activated carbon. Kala Namak is distinguished not only by its characteristic colour, but also by its original taste reminiscent of an egg. Therefore, it is often added to vegetarian dishes. There are different types of black salt: Himalayan, Hawaiian, Cyprus and Icelandic.
Each salt is a combination of one sodium molecule and one chlorine molecule. Kala Namak salt consists mainly of sodium chloride. It also contains the addition of sodium sulfate, iron sulfide and hydrogen sulfide. These admixtures are responsible for the characteristic smell and taste of the black salt. Remember that the daily requirement for an adult is 1.5 g sodium and 2.3 g chlorine. The World Health Organization recommends not to exceed the salt dose of 1 teaspoon per day.
Many scientific studies have yet to confirm the health-promoting properties of Kala Namak salt. However, today it is known that the content of activated carbon in black salt can have a positive effect on our digestive system, can help eliminate flatulence and heartburn. Kala Namak is also used externally. It is used to prepare baths beneficial to the skin. It is said to have detoxifying and antibacterial properties. Some say that it also has beneficial effects on hair, strengthening it and preventing split ends. The Hawaiians attribute energetic properties to it.
