In the lap of the Himalayas, Kumaon Herbal brings you a blend that marries the goodness of nature with the flavors of tradition — Flaxseed Salt (Alsi ka Namak). Flaxseeds, also known as Alsi in Hindi, have been used in Indian households for centuries as a natural source of health and energy. When combined with rock salt and natural Himalayan herbs, this seasoning becomes more than just an everyday condiment — it turns into a wellness companion.

Unlike chemically processed table salt, Alsi ka Namak from Kumaon Herbal is crafted with authenticity, retaining its natural nutrients while enhancing taste. Whether sprinkled on fruits, salads, parathas, or even mixed into chutneys, this salt adds a wholesome punch to your meals while nourishing your body with omega-3, fiber, and essential minerals.

Use Cases of Flaxseed Salt

1. Daily Cooking Substitute
   Replace your regular refined salt with flaxseed salt in dals, curries, sabzis, or soups. It not only enhances taste but also adds nutrition to your daily meals.

2. Sprinkler for Snacks & Fruits
   Sprinkle a pinch on fresh fruits like guava, papaya, or watermelon for that tangy, nutty twist. It also works wonderfully on roasted makhanas, peanuts, and boiled corn.

3. Perfect with Indian Breads
   Add it to parathas, theplas, or rotis before serving. The combination of warm bread with a dash of Alsi ka Namak elevates the flavor and keeps digestion light.

4. Health Drinks & Detox Water
   Dissolve a little in lemon water or buttermilk for a refreshing summer drink. The natural minerals help restore hydration and electrolytes.

5. Tadka & Seasoning
   Use it as a seasoning in your tadka for dals or stir-fried vegetables. The nutty flavor of flaxseed blends beautifully with desi ghee or mustard oil tempering.

6. Salad Companion
   Toss your raw veggies with flaxseed salt and a squeeze of lemon juice for a simple, healthy salad dressing.

7. Ayurvedic Home Remedies
   Traditionally, flaxseeds are known for relieving constipation, balancing cholesterol, and soothing inflammation. A pinch of Alsi ka Namak in warm water can help in mild digestive discomfort.

Health Benefits of Flaxseed Salt

1. Rich Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Flaxseeds are among the best vegetarian sources of omega-3. Regular consumption may support heart health, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce inflammation.

2. High in Dietary Fiber

The fiber in flaxseeds helps regulate digestion, prevent constipation, and keep you fuller for longer. Adding this salt to your meals is a simple way to boost daily fiber intake.

3. Supports Weight Management

The nutty flavor and fiber content of flaxseed salt make your food more filling. This naturally helps in portion control and prevents unnecessary snacking.

4. Natural Source of Minerals

Unlike processed white salt, flaxseed salt is blended with natural minerals from rock salt. These minerals, like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, play an essential role in hydration, nerve function, and bone strength.

5. Balances Blood Sugar Levels

Flaxseeds have compounds called lignans that may help in regulating blood sugar spikes, making this salt blend suitable for people managing diabetes.

6. Promotes Heart & Brain Health

The omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed improve blood circulation, reduce triglycerides, and also support cognitive function.

7. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

If you often suffer from bloating, joint stiffness, or gut inflammation, including Alsi ka Namak in your diet can provide soothing relief.

8. Boosts Skin & Hair Health

The healthy fats and antioxidants in flaxseeds help maintain skin elasticity and shine, while also strengthening hair follicles.
