How is sea salt different from iodized salt?
Other than the name??
Answers:
Iodized salt is salt from salt mines that contains iodine - years ago people did not get enough iodine in their diets so the easy fix was to add it to salt. The iodine does change the taste of the salt. Kosher salt also generally comes from salt mines but does not contain iodine. It also tends to be coarser in grain than iodized table salt. Sea Salt is salt made from evaporated seawater. Sea salt can have a distinctive flavor depending on what ocean or sea it comes from. In general, sea salt has a purer salt flavor than iodized salt - the iodine adds a bitterness than may cooks would prefer to not add to cooking. But kosher salt is an excellent substitute.
i think iodized salt is more pure... only a guess
Iodized salt just has added iodine in it.

i think sea salt is from the sea and iodized salt is not how the heck should i know lol ask a scientist who specialize in those kind of things lololololollo.
Sea salt does not contain any additives. Table salt is fine grain and contains iodine. Most Chefs prefer Kosher salt (my personal favorite)
well, one difference is that sea salt melts in cold water making it good for cold brines.
