Black Salt Manuracturing Process
Black salt (kala namak) is traditionally manufactured through a multi-step process. First, high-quality Himalayan salt crystals are selected and mixed with natural herbs such as amla, harad, and babool bark, sometimes including ammonium chloride to enhance flavor. This mixture is then filled into large clay pots and sealed with natural clay to ensure controlled heating. The sealed pots are placed in a traditional furnace layered with glowing coals and cow dung, where they are heated for several hours, causing chemical transformations that turn the raw mixture into black salt. After cooling, the clay pots are broken, the salt is sieved to remove impurities, and finally, it is packaged into small bags ready for sale, preserving its unique aroma, taste, and therapeutic properties.
