Nice thread.. I had never seen/used kala-namak. I had to go and google that: Black salt or kala namak is actually dark brown or black in color. Its taste isdifferent from Himalayan or table salt. It contains low amount of sodium and used to cure indigestion. ... Rock salt which is also known as Himalayan salt is mined directly from the salt mountains in Pakistan.Where do you buy kala namak in USA? Useful thread.
