ROCK SALT

Homemade rock salt (sendha namak) is naturally sourced, hand-cleaned, and stored in its purest crystalline form without chemical refining. Unlike regular table salt, it contains trace minerals that give it a mild, less sharp taste. It is widely used in everyday cooking, Ayurvedic remedies, fasting (vrat) foods, chutneys, raitas, and as a natural preservative. Known in Ayurveda for its cooling effect, rock salt supports digestion, hydration, and overall wellness.
