Indian Black - Fine

Explore our Range of Indian Black Fine Salt in Australia

For fans of Indian cuisine, a collection of high quality Indian black fine salt is essential in your spice rack. Referred to as Kala Namak by locals, it is volcanic rock salt from India that has been crushed into a fine powder. Despite the name, it actually resembles a more reddish-grey colour.

The sulphur compounds within the salt result in a unique smell, but this dissipates rapidly once sprinkled into food and adds a very distinct flavour to your meal, reminiscent of Indian Chaat.

It’s a popular choice among vegans, as a highly effective flavour substitute for hard-boiled egg yolks. Many classic Indian dishes (such as pickles, salads, chutneys, curries and raitas) will benefit from a generous portion of Indian black fine salt, and there are plenty of other tasty delights you can add it to – anything from kale and tofu, to popcorn, fruit salad and more.

Our Indian black fine salt is available for delivery Australia-wide

For those who love to complement dishes with the finest quality salts, peppers, herbs and spices available, Indian black fine salt is a superb choice. When consumed in moderation, it helps to maintain a healthy volume of circulating blood and tissue fluids throughout our bodies.

At The Salt Box, we recommend storing in a cool, dry place; regardless of where you live in Australia. If you find that your salt becomes a little clumpy over time due to moisture retention, please keep in mind that this is common for salts that are 100% natural, and it doesn’t affect the quality in any way.

Food Salt FAQs

All the food salts in our range are made from natural sea salt, with the exception of Himalayan Pink Salt which is a rock salt (which is actually also an ancient sea salt!). All contain their natural trace elements. Our gourmet flavoured salts are more than just a blend of ingredients. The flavour is bound to the sea salt crystals in a unique process. The result is a salt that is more impactful on the palate, and has better aroma, than just a dry mix of seasonings. The process is 100% natural, and we only use natural ingredients. So our Roasted Garlic Salt contains only Sea Salt and Garlic, and our Vintage Merlot Salt is just Sea Salt and Red Wine!

Sea Salt is harvested from evaporated sea water and is therefore unrefined and coarser in appearance to regular table salt. Himalayan Pink Salt is a rock salt, harvested in large pieces which is then broken into Coarse or Fine grain sizes. The pink colour is caused by the many minerals found in this salt. Other salts are slightly grey in colour – for example as Sel Gris is harvested, it comes in contact with the bottom of the salt pan, increasing the mineral content and causing the grey colour. Flavoured salts often take on colour from the ingredients that are added to them, for example the rich red of our Vintage Merlot Salt, or the green of our Matcha Green Tea Salt. Fleur de Sel, also known as The Queen of Salts, has delicate, flower shaped crystals that are formed on the surface of sea water as it evaporates.

Salt is one of the basic flavours that human’s taste, and therefore very important in cooking. It can also enhance other flavours, such as sweet, sour and umami, and can curb bitterness. Salt can be added during the cooking process, or used as a finishing salt, after cooking is completed.

Our gourmet salts are available in a variety of textures. Large grained salts add a strong, crunchy salty note when used as a finishing salt. Or they can be used in grinders if a finer texture is required. Smaller grained salts are useful for a more delicate salty addition, or a great used in cooking as they dissolve easily.

Many flavoured salts are effective as a finishing salt due to their colour and aroma. Add Truffle Salt to potatoes, use Black Lava Salt on the rim of a cocktail glass or sprinkle Vintage Merlot Salt on the surrounding white plate.
