Black salt or kalo nun/kala namak is not a black salt per se, but salts, minerals and herbs gone through a complicated, heated process to make this ancient form of healthy salt.
In ayurvedic traditions it's said to aid in digestion, acidity and weight loss. It has antioxidant effects and promotes hair growth.
The black salt has a very distinct taste and it took me more than 12 years living in Asia, before I started to appreciate having a pinch of it in my fresh lemon soda.
