It gets memed a lot, the main important thing about Kosher salt is that it doesn't have added iodine so you can use it in fermentation. But most regular sea salt also doesn't have added iodine. The other thing about it is how it's traditionally dried leads to a specific texture.

It's basically just a meme name with little relation to anything actually Jewish or Kosher. Getting triggered over it is like getting triggered over these being called jerusalem artichokes.

It's a term I am mostly unsuccessfullying trying to bring back and either way the one I prefer. They are most commonly called jerusalem artichokes, but they have nothing to do with jerusalem at all. The name is a malapropism of the Italian "girasola articiocco" which means 'turning to the sun'. The old English botanist John Parkinson who first described them for the british gave them the name I prefer which is potatoes of Canada.
