Pisyu Loon: Uttarakhand's Ancient Salt, Boosts Health & Flavor

  • Pisyu Loon (Pisi Noon) is a hand-ground salt from Uttarakhand, made with fresh herbs (garlic, chili, coriander, mint, asafoetida) and roasted hemp seeds.
  • This traditional salt enhances food flavor, provides warmth, and symbolizes Uttarakhand's rich hill culture and heritage.
  • It significantly aids digestion, increases appetite, strengthens the digestive system, and offers relief from gas and indigestion.
  • The herbs in Pisyu Loon help combat colds, coughs, and fatigue; as rock salt, it's lighter and more balanced than common salt.
  • Widely used in daily meals with dal-bhaat, vegetables, parathas, chutneys, and popular with Mandua roti or plain rice.

Why It Matters: Pisyu Loon is Uttarakhand's healthy, traditional hand-ground salt, enriching meals and embodying cultural heritage.
