Question: If you are an Orthodox Jew and eat only kosher foods, can you consume iodized salt!?
Or does all the salt have to be kosher!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Iodized salt *is* kosher!. Kosher salt--the kind you're thinking of--is a bit of a misnomer!. It's coarse salt, designed to be used *for* koshering meat--for salting it so as to draw out as much blood as possible!.

However, another answer to your question is that if one is an Orthodox Jew, then *everything* one eats must be kosher!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im pretty sure most salt is kosher!. the salt i use is, and its really not that hard to find!. even if there's no u or k or cor on the label, i dont think it needs to be kosher!. but really, there are so many kosher brands out there, just get onethats kosher just to be safe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can not see why not!.!.

But since your into the Jewish culture

LOL iodized salt is kosher! Look on the canister, you'll see a little U with an O around it, or a K!.

"Kosher" salt is just a term for a type of salt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Honestly, I'd just stick with kosher salt!. It's better to cook with anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
