Black salt is sodium chloride plus trace minerals — sodium ~38,000 mg/100g, essentially as salty as table salt. Despite 'digestive' claims, it is still sodium. For kidney patients with hypertension, black salt must be limited exactly like regular salt.
Values are approximate, based on USDA FoodData Central and ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables. Actual values vary by variety, ripeness, serving size, and cooking method. The database rating is a general reference, not an individualized diet recommendation.
