Review: I'm not Jewish, but a lot of recipes seem to call for Kosher salt, so hopefully this three pound box will be put to good use. If I had known what a little skimming of Morton's website had told me, I would have just bought Morton's Iodine-Free salt. The only difference is that the Kosher salt is a flake salt while the Iodine-Free salt is small enough to be used in your standard salt shaker. Still Kosher, just smaller.

Kosher salt and sea salt always seems to taste better to me. I doubt my chemical dependent taste buds are actively sensing the iodine, but the larger granules and flakes just seem to make the salt flavor pop a bit more. My only problem with Morton's Kosher salt is that they don't seem to sell it in a smaller size. Online and at the store, I have only been able to find a 3lb. size for sale. I only need about a teaspoon for the Spicy Coconut Noodles I am making tonight. I can't complain too much. At $1.99, it is worth every ounce. If that is the breakdown, I only hope Lot's wife weighed a lot more than three pounds.

Rating: 4 / 5
