Black means Healthy!

There are foods that we eat often, very often, rarely or not eat at all. Salt is the only exception. Can we, humans do without salt? Probably we can, for some time. But immediately, the food becomes bland and tasteless, as well as life itself.

So, food without salt is tasteless, but with salt it is harmful. Is there a reasonable compromise? There is, and it was found by our ancestors. From ancient times in Russia the recipe for black salt has been passed on from generation to generation.

The process of its preparation was rather complicated: ordinary salt was burned in a Russian stove with the addition of kvass mash, cabbage leaves, rye flour and wild herbs. Since the process was long and laborious, such salt was usually prepared once a year before Easter on a "Clean Thursday". Then it was called so: Thursday salt. But why exactly on Clean Thursday? Perhaps because there was a tradition to cleanse your soul, home and food on this day. 

Today, doctors call salt "White Death". It is unlikely that our ancestors knew such wording, but they instinctively guessed about its harmul effect. Burning salt, they rid it of all organic compounds that are harmful to humans, like excessive chlorine. It is because of those harmful impurities, the doctors recommend to limit salt intake. 

For a long time it was believed that the secret of making black salt was irretrievably lost. It turned out, was not. To date, the tradition of making black salt has been preserved in the Kostroma region.

Black salt from Kostroma is made on the basis of rye flour, according to the old recipe, with the preservation of classical technology.

It is natural, environmentally friendly product without synthetic additives, rich in micro elements (K, Ca, Mg, I, Cu).

One of the advantages of the black salt made according to this recipe is the increased content of calcium. It is enriched with calcium in the production process at the expense of flour and further ashing. After all, it is calcium that forms the solid basis of bones and teeth. Calcium deficiency leads to poor development of the muscles and skeleton, to quick loss of slim figure.

After burning, the amount of harmful impurities is reduced in black salt.  Black salt regulates digestion, does not hold water so much in the body. Carbon in the form of fine coal removes toxins from the body.

Due to the fact that black salt is baked with rye flour, it becomes crumbly and fine-grained, less dampens.

Black salt has its own unique taste. It is good to put it in all dishes, instead of ordinary white salt.
