Black salt, also known as Himalayan black salt, or Indian black salt, is a volcanic rock salt manufactured in the regions surrounding the Himalayas. It contains, in addition to sodium chloride, traces of Sulphur compounds naturally found in the Himalayan mountains. This Sulphur content is what gives the salt its unique pungent smell and tangy taste, reminiscent of rotten eggs. Indian black salt can vary in color - some may not be even black at all.

Himalayan black salt starts out as pink Himalayan salt before traditionally being mixed with herbs, seeds, spices and heated to high temperatures. Despite its name, Himalayan black salt is actually pinkish-brown in color. Himalayan salt was formed over 250 million years ago during the Jurassic era and is found in the Himalayan mountains. It was mined from the ancient sea beds inside the mountains, which were once covered by lava.
