Description
Kosher salt is a coarse edible salt that is commonly used in kitchens, without common additives such as iodine. This type of salt was commonly used in the koshering process of removing blood from meat, in accordance with Jewish dietary laws, and the name stuck. It is made up of coarse particles, quite different to the small uniform cubes of table salt. The kosher salt flakes have great absorption and hence cling to the surface of the meat, and are more effective at drawing out moisture.
