Salt adds depth, balances flavours, improves texture and quietly supports your health. Used right, salt disappears. Leave it out, and it’s missed. Add too much, and it ruins everything. But the thing is, not all salts are created equal. You will see a noticeable difference not just in food but also in your body by choosing the right salt.Paneer Butter Masala is a beloved North Indian dish that brings together creamy tomato gravy, tender paneer cubes, and a touch of aromatic spices. But what if we told you this restaurant-style favourite can also be made with a health-first twist—right at home?
So let’s investigate why salt is essential, learn about the various types of salts used in the kitchen, and how, at Table Top Salt, our mission is to balance health, nutrition and taste.
WHY IS SALT SO IMPORTANT, ANYWAY?
Salt is not just a seasoning, it is a very essential mineral. It is responsible for maintaining your body’s fluid balance, keeping your muscles and nerves functioning and when mixed with iodine, it guards against thyroid disease.
Eliminating salt altogether is a surefire path to weakness, cramps and electrolyte imbalance which can lead to various and severe health risks.
The secret is not less salt, but better salt and in the right quantity.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SALTS
Table Top Iodised Sea Salt
An everyday essential
What’s in your salt matters.
Ours is sea salt. Sun-dried, not vacuum-processed. Which means it keeps the good stuff nature put in, like magnesium and calcium, minerals your body needs but can’t make on its own.
We add iodine too. Because your thyroid (especially your kid’s) deserves that kind of support.
No gimmicks. No pointless refining. Just clean, natural salt for everyday cooking to add that pinch of healthy goodness in your everyday meals from dals to stir-fries.
It’s the smart kind of basic.
Table Top Himalayan Pink Rock Salt
Stay in the pink of health
This isn’t just about taste, though it adds a punch to every food you add it to. It supports hydration, muscle recovery, and helps keep your body’s pH in check.
Low in Sodium. No artificial additives. No unnecessary processing. Just pure rock salt, the way nature meant it.
Sprinkle it on salads. Grill with it. Finish with flair.
A smart swap when you want your seasoning to actually do something.
Table Top Sendha Namak
Pure salt for clean living
Another gift from our beloved Himalayas, Sendha Namak has long been trusted during fasts and for good reason. It’s gentle on your palate, low in sodium and rich in natural essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, giving you more than just flavour.
At Table Top, our Sendha Namak is designed to have the subtle flavour lets your food speak for itself. Perfect for fresh fruits, light salads and every meal where you want seasoning that has no interest in overpowering the whole dish.
Traditionally used during fasting, it’s a great everyday option when you want seasoning that’s subtle, not shouty.
Why not switch to a peaceful salt for mindful meals?
Table Top Black Salt
Your gut’s best friend
While its unique smoky aroma and savoury umami punch make it essential for chaats, chutneys, raitas and dishes that need that extra depth, it’s benefits go beyond taste.
It supports digestion by stimulating digestive enzymes, easing bloating and reducing acidity. The naturally-occurring compounds act as natural detoxifiers, helping cleanse your gut and improve nutrient absorption. Rich in essential minerals like iron, magnesium and potassium, our black salt offers a gentle boost to your body’s balance.
Your gut deserves better, so Table Top Black Salt brings you natural digestive support, mineral balance, and a unique smoky twist.
Table Top Iodised Crystal Sea Salt
The slow and steady salt
Think all salt is the same? Think again. Crystal sea salt is the real deal. It’s coarse, sun-dried and packed with the minerals your body actually needs which adds texture and slows down the rate at which salt dissolves.
Those natural crystals hold on to magnesium, calcium, potassium and other essential players in hydration, muscle function that keep you in top-shape. Plus, when salt dissolves slowly, your body gets a slow and steady, supply of what it craves.
So yes, it seasons your food, but it also fuels your body.
That’s why crystal sea salt isn’t just seasoning. It’s a mineral boost, straight from the sea.
Does sun-drying salt really make a difference?
Most commercial salts go through heavy processing from vacuum-evaporation that strips them of essential minerals.
In 1992, our founders noticed this and realised people were getting salt without its natural benefits, sold only for flavour. That didn’t quite sit right with us. So they created Table Top Salt.
After extensive research, we found sun-drying preserves the salt’s natural minerals and alkalinity better than any other method. The slow, natural drying process keeps all the goodness intact, unlike harsh industrial techniques that destroy nutrients.
Our salt is mineral-rich and free from additives. Used in the right amounts, it is essential for hydration, nerve function and your overall health.
That is why Table Top Salt is simple: we make salt that’s pure, natural and healthy.
