Swagat Black Salt 100 gm

Swagat Black Salt 100?gm — what it is, what makes it special, how it tastes and where to use it, plus a few things to keep in mind.

? What is it

This product is “black salt” (in Hindi often called Kala Namak) — a type of rock salt that’s processed/heated and then finely ground, sold in a 100?g pack under the “Swagat” brand.

Unlike regular table salt, black salt has a distinctive composition: besides sodium chloride it also contains sulfur compounds (and traces of minerals like iron and potassium), giving it a unique taste and aroma.

??? Taste, Aroma & What Makes It Unique

The flavour of black salt is salty — but with a strong, pungent, slightly sulphurous / “eggy” aroma. Many people describe it as somewhat tangy, smoky or mineral?rich.

When used sparingly, it adds a distinctive umami?style depth to foods — quite different from plain salt. This is why it’s used not just as “salt,” but as a special seasoning or finishing spice.

?? Common Uses in Cooking & Food

Black salt is a versatile seasoning in Indian and South Asian cooking. Typical uses include:

Chaats, salads, fruit chaat, and chaats/spicy street?food — sprinkle black salt to bring out tangy, savory notes.

Raitas, chutneys, yogurts, and buttermilk / drinks (like jal?jeera / lemonade / chaas) — it gives them a savory edge and balances sweetness or acidity.

Vegan / plant-based cooking — because of its sulfurous “eggy” flavor, black salt is often used to mimic the taste of eggs in vegan recipes (e.g. tofu scrambles) or as a savory seasoning alternative.

Savory snacks or finishing salt — for roasted vegetables, fried snacks, chaats, fruit salads — even a small sprinkle can transform taste, giving a tangy?savory twist instead of plain saltiness.

Because flavour is strong and distinctive, black salt is usually used sparingly, more like a spice than a regular salt.

?? Possible Health / Traditional Benefits (and Some Considerations)

Many people value black salt not just for taste — it is also associated with various traditional and potential health/ digestive benefits (though scientific evidence is limited). Some reputed benefits:

It’s considered to aid digestion, reduce acidity, relieve bloating or gas/flatulence, and support digestive health.

Because it has sulfur and trace minerals (iron, potassium, etc.), it’s sometimes viewed as a “healthier alternative” to heavily refined salts — though it should still be used in moderation.

It may also be used in traditional home remedies / Ayurvedic?style applications (for example as a digestive aid).

Things to consider / keep in mind:

Black salt is not iodized, unlike many refined table salts — so if you switch to using black salt often, ensure you get enough iodine from other dietary sources.

Because of its strong taste and sulfur smell, a little goes a long way — more doesn’t mean better. Overuse can make dishes taste unpleasant.

As with any salt, excessive consumption can lead to increased sodium intake, which can impact blood pressure or kidney function.
