When it comes to traditional Indian kitchens, salt has always been more than just a seasoning. It carries cultural, medicinal, and culinary significance. In the Himalayan region, people have been crafting unique blends of flavoured salts, locally called Pisyu Loon, for centuries. Among these, Ginger Flavoured Salt stands out as a delicious and health-boosting seasoning that not only adds zest to everyday dishes but also supports overall wellness. Namakwali brings you this authentic taste of the mountains in the form of handcrafted Ginger Flavoured Salt, made with pure Himalayan salt and freshly ground spices.

The Tradition of Flavoured Salt

In Uttarakhand and other Pahadi regions, flavoured salts are prepared by hand using a sil-batta (traditional stone grinder). This process ensures the natural aroma and medicinal properties of the ingredients remain intact. Each flavoured salt is a unique combination of herbs, spices, and rock salt that creates a burst of flavour when sprinkled on meals. Ginger Flavoured Salt is one such variety, blending the warm, pungent notes of ginger with mineral-rich Himalayan salt to create a seasoning that is both tasty and therapeutic.

Ingredients in Ginger Flavoured Salt

The purity of ingredients is what makes this seasoning special. Typically, Ginger Flavoured Salt includes:

Himalayan Rock Salt – Rich in natural minerals, it enhances flavour while supporting electrolyte balance.

Dry Ginger Powder – Known for its warming properties, ginger aids digestion and adds a zesty kick.

Cumin Seeds (optional) – For earthy depth and better digestion.

Chilli Flakes (optional) – To give a light spicy touch.

Every pinch of this salt is full of authenticity, prepared without artificial additives, preservatives, or chemicals.
