Pure, non-iodized salt in its natural form — sun-dried sea salt from Thoothukudi & Himalayan rock salt. No chemicals, no bleaching, no anti-caking agents.
Non-iodized salt is salt in its natural form — without artificially added iodine or anti-caking chemicals. For thousands of years, humans consumed only natural salt harvested from the sea or mined from ancient rock deposits. This salt naturally contains 80+ trace minerals including magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron that are stripped away during modern refining.
Today, most table salt sold in India is heavily refined — bleached white, stripped of minerals, and loaded with potassium iodate and sodium ferrocyanide (anti-caking agent). Non-iodized salt skips all of this processing, giving you salt the way nature intended.
Sea Salt Powder (Non-Iodized) — Sun-dried sea salt from Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. Ground to powder form for everyday cooking. Unbleached, unrefined, no anti-caking agents.
Sea Salt Crystal (Non-Iodized) — Coarse crystal form of the same pure sea salt. Ideal for pickling, fermentation, and making traditional preparations like mango pickle and lemon pickle.
Himalayan Rock Salt — Mined from ancient salt deposits in the Himalayan foothills. Its pink colour comes from natural iron oxide content. Rich in 84 trace minerals.
Himalayan Rock Salt Powder — Ground Himalayan pink salt for everyday cooking. Same mineral-rich profile in a convenient powder form.
