How to Use

Use sindhav salt exactly as you would regular salt — as a seasoning during and after cooking. It is the required salt for Hindu fasting preparations (Navratri, Ekadashi) when regular iodized table salt is avoided. Sindhav is also used in traditional Ayurvedic preparations, digestive lassis, and chaat masala blends. Its clean mineral flavor makes it excellent on fresh salads and fruits.
