Salt used to preserve kosher foods way long ago. I think its mineral based, as opposed to something like sea salt, and not iodized.

Basically jews subscribe to a loosely defined set of rules for what they can consume in adherence with their religion.

These rules vary wildly from place to place and interatingly from time to time (for example not eating pork may have originated as a way to drive out pagan vendors) but are all called kosher.

The regional chief jew takes assloads of cash from companies in exchange for calling their food kosher and then spends quite a bit of time suing or being sued by other competing chief jews who have different definitions of kosher.


Basically HURR GAY AND WEAR A DUMB HAT GIVEE MONEY HURR.

Colloquially Kosher Salt just means salt in the form of larger particles than table salt.

Kosher salt is salt blessed by a rabbi and sold with a higher tax which goes to fund the jewish community. No I'm not joking this does actually happen.

It's called that in the US of A only (though through globohomo influence other places are also beginning to call it Kosher salt). In normal countries it's called "finger salt" or some other such moniker.

a common term used in North America for course salt. It isn't blessed by a Rabbi or whatever, just a term that stuck around

"Coarse edible salt is a kitchen staple, but its name varies widely in various cultures and countries. The term kosher salt gained common usage in North America and refers to its use in the Jewish religious practice of dry brining meats, known as kashering, and not to the salt itself being manufactured under any religious guidelines. Some brands further identify kosher-certified salt as being approved by a religious body.[6]"

Another example of an antiquated term would be how pork shoulder is often called pork butt or a boston butt. "Butt" was a term for a kind of barrel they were packed into, and the name has stuck.
