SALT

Homemade salt is naturally harvested, hand-cleaned, and stored without chemical bleaching or additives. It retains its natural minerals and purity, making it a healthier alternative to refined table salt. Known as the most essential seasoning, salt enhances flavor in every dish — from dals, curries, pickles, salads, and baked foods to snacks and beverages. In Ayurveda, natural salt is valued for balancing electrolytes, aiding digestion, and maintaining hydration.
