Madamshree Spices & Herbs' Rock Salt, commonly known as Sendha Namak in India, is a natural salt sourced from mineral deposits found in salt mines. Unlike regular table salt, which undergoes extensive processing that strips it of minerals, Rock Salt retains trace elements like calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron, giving it a subtle pinkish hue.
This type of salt is particularly valued during religious fasting periods (Vrat) in Hindu culture because it is considered pure and unprocessed. It is also preferred in Ayurvedic cooking for its perceived health benefits and balanced mineral content.
In terms of flavour, Rock Salt has a milder taste compared to regular table salt, making it suitable for those who prefer a less salty flavour profile. Its texture is coarser, adding a satisfying crunch when used as a finishing salt on dishes like salads or grilled vegetables. It dissolves slowly, imparting a subtle mineral richness to foods without overpowering them.
Rock Salt is versatile in the kitchen, used for seasoning during cooking, pickling, or preparing snacks like chaats and fruit salads. It can be ground into fine powder or used in its coarse form, depending on the culinary application. Many people also use it in homemade spice blends or herbal remedies due to its perceived purity and health benefits.
Madamshree ensures the quality of their Rock Salt by sourcing it from reputable suppliers who adhere to strict quality standards. This ensures that each batch maintains its natural mineral content and purity, providing consumers with a high-quality seasoning option.
Whether you're observing a fast, practicing Ayurvedic cooking, or simply looking to explore different salts in your culinary endeavours, Madamshree's Rock Salt offers a natural and flavourful alternative that enhances the taste of your dishes while offering potential health benefits derived from its mineral-rich composition.
