It's sea salt for people too stupid to buy sea salt

>>13290927
so it's just overpriced bullshit?

>>13290925
Use it if you want thyroid problems.

>>13290932
Yes.

What's kosher about it anyway?

>>13290945
no iodine

>>13290925
You're not supposed to use kosher salt for flavoring food. You're supposed to use it for preparing meat.
>>13290945
>>13290948
No. It's kosher because it's used for koshering meat, not because it's kosher itself.

>>13290977
on BA why do they shove it everywhere?

>>13290990
I just bought 3lbs of kosher for $3.49 it's cheap and the reason why it's better than table salt is because it doesn't have that metallic taste that the iodine leaves behind.

>>13290935
We get enough iodine from the processed food we eat, calm down grandma.

Enjoy your goiter

>>13290977
Works with any kind of coarse salt. And you can in fact use coarse or kosher salt to flavor food. It'll dissolve in liquid just like any salt or be used directly on cooked feed in a few cases, usually a grilled piece of meat.

Those tax cuts say otherwise

The wording is excessively dishonest.

You probably shouldn't eat anything coming out of China to be fair.

(((kosher)))

>>13291080

Yes because the average westerner eats fucking konbu

>>13290925
Europoor here.
I was tricked into buying kosher salt by all the American recipes posted here but the one I get are salt flakes, not sea salt like grains like in the OP.

Did the merchant screw me? It’s diamond crystal brand

>>13291358

Kosher salt is just a thicker non-iodized salt used for meat prep. The only valid reason to use it over table salt in a recipe is if the taste of iodine would ruin the dish

>>13290925

enjoy your goiter

>>13291361
>the taste of iodine would ruin the dish
How true is this /ck/?

>>13291398
Don't buy iodized table salt, problem solved.

>>13290935
>>13291397
You already get iodine from soil based food.

>How much iodine do I need?In your entire lifetime you will need less than a teaspoon of iodine to ensure good health, however, since it is dangerous to consume that much iodine at once, it is best to eat a little each day. You only need 150 micrograms (mcg, μg), or 20,000th of a teaspoon, to meet your daily requirement.

Suck it iodine-shills

What the fuck are you autists on about? Kosher salt is roughly the same price and salt is sort cheap anyways. We're talking a difference of less than $1 a month. People use kosher salt because the consistency makes it a lot easier to sprinkle precisely.

>People use kosher salt because the consistency makes it a lot easier to sprinkle precisely.
You must be joking.

>>13291456

Babby's first micronutrient, thanks for showing us you're retarded

>>13291618
Why would I be joking? That fine grain table salt is annoying to season meat evenly with as well as seasoning your finished dish to taste

>>13291722
Maybe if your father seasoned your moms snatch with iodine salt before shooting his autistic load in her, you would be less retarded.

>>13291398
>How true is this /ck/?
0% true. You can't taste the amount of iodine that's in iodized table salt. The anons trying desperately to avoid iodine in salt are literal schizophrenics.
