Answers:
What are the differences between Morton? Iodized Salt and Morton? Canning and Pickling Salt!? Are they interchangeable!?


Morton? Canning and Pickling Salt is a pure granulated salt which does not contain potassium iodide, dextrose or an anti-caking agent!. In other words, it does not contain any additives!. This salt product can be used in cooking, baking, canning, pickling and for the table!. Please note that since there is no anti-caking agent added to Morton? Canning and Pickling Salt, it may form lumps in humid weather or if exposed to moisture!. This product is available in four-pound boxes and can be found in your local grocery store!. Morton? Iodized Salt contains potassium iodide, dextrose to stabilize the iodide and calcium silicate which is an anti-caking agent!. This product is fine for baking, cooking and normal table use!. However, since the anti-caking agent in this product is not water-soluble, we do not recommend this salt for some canning recipes as the calcium silicate may settle at the bottom of the jar and the water may cloud!. This is really not a problem but it could be an aesthetic issue for some users!.

Can Morton? Table Salt be used for canning vegetables!?

You read and decide
I say they are the same Except for Iodized
Table salt,, Kosher and pickling the same
Their granular size is the main differenceWww@FoodAQ@Com

Pickling salt is free of additives (like the stuff that makes salt free flowing) and preservatives!. Kosher salt is a perfect substitute!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Canning or pickling salt does not have additives which means the canned or pickled items will remain clear!. Here's a link telling more about canning and pickling salt:
