About this item
- HIMALAYAN BLACK SALT: is also known as kala namak, sanchal, kala loon or black lava salt. Naturally derived from volcanic mines in Northern India and Pakistan and surrounding salt lakes, black salt has been a staple in South Asian diets for centuries. In its rock form, black salt is typically brown in color, but when ground up becomes a pinkish-grey color. Due to the iron-oxides in the salt, its coloring can deepen to a dark reddish-brown when added to foods.
- VEGAN-APPROVED: Himalayan black salt is the perfect flavor substitute for vegans who love the taste of eggs and is also a key source of iron and other minerals. Use Kala Namak for the ideal tofu scramble and a variety of other vegan dishes. This black salt is all natural, gluten-free, kosher and non-GMO.
- DELICIOUS TASTE: Elevate any dish with the distinct flavor profile of black salt. Add it to vegetables, fried noodles and rice dishes. Use black salt on tofu to give it the perfect hard-boiled egg taste.
- COMMON USES: Kala Namak black salt can be used in place of regular table salt, as a condiment or added to a variety of dishes like chaat masala, chutneys, various fruits, raitas and many other Indian snacks. Because of its unique sulfurous, hard-boiled egg aroma, black salt is the key ingredient in traditional South Asian recipes.
- HEALTH BENEFITS: Indian black salt has long been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine because of its benefits. Lower in sodium and containing 94 trace minerals, black salt is a healthier alternative to regular table salt. A cooling spice, black salt has an alkalizing effect on the body, helping to alleviate digestive issues like heartburn.

It made a HUGE difference and gave the scramble that eggy flavor. It's so good that my husband now regularly asks for this over and egg scramble despite not being vegetarian/vegan.
I decided to try it with tofu/egg salad and same result. Highly recommend if you still need that eggy flavor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but that does not mean I have to eat meat or animal products at every meal, every day. A lot of us are like that. We eat everything, and just enjoy food, and sometimes prefer vegetables and other plant matter as the focus rather than the side (true plant based meaning). Having various seasonings, techniques, and other ingredients on hand make it easier to do so. Keep things interesting, and sometimes cheap (sometimes not, haha).
I like using tofu as it is easy on my stomach. I like making a quick "egg scramble" without using eggs as it is very quick, no fuss, and I can eat a lot more without as many calories (45 cals per serving vs 70). I usually use a whole block which is 180 calories (would be 280 or so in egg equivalent). Also, prices vary and I didnt want to waste my money on eggs for a basic scramble. I also use the shelf stable silken tofu which makes it a great pantry stable as I can tuck it away in my cupboard and not worry about using it up right away like I do with eggs. Nice emergency or prepper food.
I take a block of silken tofu, drain, dry, and then toss in pan with some olive oil. I randomly crumble it up. It totally takes on scrambled egg appearance. I like to add generous amount of turmeric, black pepper, and some of this black salt. I may add in other spices depending on what I am in the mood for. I often will lightly cook some green pepper, onions, or whatever other vegetables I have. Sometimes I just eat it all in a bowl with some nooch, sometimes I roll it into a burrito wrap. YUM. While I am not at all new to eating like this, I do think it would be a good option for those who are new to trying reduced animal diet. Or could even do half and half.
Same idea for "egg salad", etc. I have yet to use it in other dishes. I dont have much experience with working with sulfur flavor.
Overall I think it is good. I dont have any other brand to compare it to since this is the first time I tried it. Just keep in mind that it is salty.
