Government of India is proud to introduce this unique salt in large scale across India under the brand KSHAAR."
Cmde Kamlesh Kumar, CMD, Hindustan Salts Limited said, "KSHAAR will be India's or probably the world's most exquisite salt as it is mined only from a small section of the vast lake which has an exotic algae system that lends it a pink color. The salt is truly unique and organic as it is sundried for 9 to 12 months. It has a ph of 9.5 and is naturally embedded with iodine and 54 rich minerals that help metabolism and give several health benefits. All this make KSHAAR a truly positive and priceless salt."
KSHAAR has been launched in two variants, KSHAAR Lake Salt in crystal and powder form and KSHAAR Black Salt in crystal form. It will be available on Amazon as well as on its own website

KSHAAR Lake Salt is extracted by naturally sun drying the salt water from a specific section of Sambhar lake for a period of 9 to 12 months.

Its naturally embedded iodine and 54 rich minerals help boost immunity, control acidity and provide several neurological and metabolism benefits.
KSHAAR Black Salt is prepared by adding Triphala (Amla, Baheda and Hirda) to KSHAAR Lake Salt and heating it at high temperatures to get black salt. This black salt is rich in iron and provides not just digestive benefits as prescribed by Ayurveda but also helps in anaemia and overall health.
