Badia Kosher Salt - 8oz (226.8g)
Kosher salt is a coarse, flaky low-sodium salt with large crystals that is free of additives like iodine. It gets its name from its historical use in the Jewish process of "koshering" (or dry brining) meat to draw out blood. It's a favourite among chefs due to its texture, which makes it easy to pinch and control, and its pure, less bitter taste compared to table salt.
The perfect salt for seasoning your steaks!
Key characteristics
Texture: Coarse, flaky, or crystalline with large grains, unlike the fine sand-like texture of table salt.
Additives: Typically does not contain anti-caking agents or iodine, which can give table salt a slightly bitter aftertaste. Also has a lower amount of sodium, as compared with other types of salt.
Flavour: A pure, clean salt flavour. The lack of iodine is often cited as a key difference from many table salts.
Origin: Mined from rock salt deposits or made from evaporated seawater.
Usage: Popular for cooking, brining, curing, and seasoning, especially for meats. Its large crystals make it easy to sprinkle and control, and it's also used as an abrasive for cleaning cookware.
