Kosher salt doesn't have anti caking agents, iodine or sugar (dextrose).

>I'd like to take the opportunity to hijack this thread and ask why the fuck does every mundane source on fermenting veggies INSIST on using kosher, sea or non iodized salt, when regular iodized table salt does the job absolutely fine.

1. American table salt has iodine, sugar and anti caking agent.

2. Sea salt taste better than pure sodium chloride.

3. If you can't taste iodine in salt, you're a tastelet.

The reason so many American recipes specify kosher salt, is because "salt" in America contains things like sugar and anti caking agents.

Kosher salt on the other hand is pure salt.
