Black Salt Powder
Sodium chloride with sulphur-rich mineral compounds
Pronunciation: black salt powder
Sulphurous, savoury, tangy, mineral
A mineral-rich seasoning salt used for its distinctive sulphurous, tangy savoury note.
Did you know?
Black salt’s famous savoury aroma comes from sulphur-containing compounds, which make it especially useful in tangy blends.
Why it’s used
Some ingredients shape the story of a product directly. Others play more supporting roles in flavour, texture, aroma, or consistency. We believe both should be transparent.
