In Indian kitchens, there’s one ingredient that’s as humble as it is powerful — Kala Namak, or Black Salt. Stored in traditional matkas (clay pots) for centuries, this salt is more than a seasoning — it’s Ayurveda’s favourite digestive, a detox hero, and a wellness staple.

At OS Agrova, we bring you this sacred salt the way our ancestors didnatural, pure, and preserved in earthy matkas that retain its energetic and mineral balance.

🏺 Why a Matka?

The matka (clay pot) isn’t just old-school charm — it’s a science-backed tradition:

  • 🧱 Clay keeps salt cool, dry & naturally preserved

  • 🌿 Enhances salt’s energetic purity (Sattva in Ayurveda)

  • 🪔 Symbol of Indian kitchen wisdom — simple, earthy, powerful

Storing black salt in a matka protects its unique sulphuric properties, maintains its natural aroma, and prevents it from losing its therapeutic value.

✨ It’s not just storage. It’s a ritual.

🌿 What Makes Black Salt So Special?

Unlike regular salt, Black Salt isn’t refined — it’s kiln-fired with herbs and natural compounds, giving it that dark pink-to-brown color and pungent aroma.

💥 Contains sulphur compounds (good for gut)
🧂 Rich in minerals like iron, potassium, magnesium
🔥 Aids digestion, reduces bloating & acidity
🌬 Eases gas, colic & constipation
🕉 Used in Ayurveda for centuries as a digestive and cooling agent
