India Black Kala Namak, 4 oz (113 g), The Spice Lab

Only a tiny amount of this black salt is needed to provide an egg-like flavor for plant based dishes such as scrambles & omelets made from chickpea flour, split mung beans, tofu and other plant derived bases. Even sprinkling on shredded potato veggie skillets and stir fries adds an eggy flavor. Spice Lab products have always served our family well and this high quality black salt (kala namak) is no exception. Because so little is needed to impart an egg flavor I expect the 4 oz. bottle I purchased will last a very long time, possibly beyond its 2027 expiration date. Thank you, Spice Lab! Update in February 2024: My family and I still love this brand of kala namak black salt the best, having sampled other brands used by friends. Our friends have now switched to using the Spice Lab brand after trying Spice Lab, too! This is high quality kala namak and we use it so often in our household that when I order I buy the biggest bag I can find on Amazon and refill my 4 oz. bottles from there. Color of the salt granules (which look like ground pepper) may vary a little from bag to bag, but the flavor has remained consistent. In addition to the dishes I mentioned in my original review, we now add a tiny sprinkle to vegan potato salad to simulate egg salad for sandwiches, and with a bit of vegan mayo and mustard on top of plain steamed potatoes to simulate deviled eggs. With a spoon or melon baller you can even scoop a bit of potato from the center of half of a cooked potato to mix with vegan mayo and mustard, add the smooth mixture back to the potato half and top with this salt to make it look like deviled eggs, as well. And even plain toast can be sprinkled with kala namak and served with a bit of maple syrup to simulate French toast! The key to the best results is to sprinkle a tiny amount of this salt on top of the food, not to mix it in or cook with it. Even the Spice Lab label will tell you that, so pay attention to this advice in order to get the best results. Start with a light dose and increase only if needed. After all, you can’t easily removed the salt if you add too much; you can always add more to suit individual taste. Subtle is usually more pleasing than strong. 🙂

Love this product great for vegans. The taste is mild, eggs and not too salty.

If you can't eat eggs Spice Lab Kala Namak Black Salt - Indian Himalayan Black Salt gives you the taste and smell of eggs. I use it in potato salad, tofu "egg" salad and other dishes that you use hard boiled eggs to replace the egg. My husband can't eat eggs and this gives him a good substitute. It comes in a glass jar and it is fine, almost powdery. The color is kind of a pinkish with maybe a little hint of brown. And as I mentioned it does smell like sulfer! This is good salt and I will definitely buy it again.

This is the first time I have ever tried this type of salt. I didn't know what to expect, but there are times I like to be adventurous... I am not a fan of hard boiled eggs simply because I hate boiling and peeling them. I only use Himalayan salt in my cooking, decided to take a chance. This salt is absolutely delicious!!! It smells exactly like hard boiled eggs, and tastes like them as well! It's not too salty, you only need a bit sprinkled over your food. I just can't get over how much it tastes like hard boiled eggs... Now I'm thinking of what to use it on. I've had some on plain spaghetti and my taste buds went nuts! Next I'm planning to sprinkle over cucumbers. I don't ever plan to be without this salt EVER again!! Try and you won't regret it ...!!

This specialty product smelled as it was supposed to smell and tastes as I expected it to taste. But on the label it says salt. Very salty in a 'tip of the iceberg finger' taste because it's a powder. I was hoping for salt crystals to assist with gentle sprinkling onto my dishes. With a powder, it'll take very careful handling not to use too much. Maybe I overlooked that distinction in the narrative... Tastes fine, but powdery.
