Very probable not; see the link below.
Yes, it is. You can also use Kosher salt, but it's not typically used on pretzels.
Pretzels without salt are called pretzels
Kosher food may be made with kosher salt, but it doesn't have to be. It can be made just as well with sea salt, garlic salt, celery salt, low salt, or no salt, depending on the preferences of the people who are planning on eating it. For that matter, it can also be made with freshly ground black pepper, as well as with cumin, thyme, lemon zest, dry mustard, cinnamon, cardamom, parsley, sage, rosemary, and curry. You name it.
Kosher salt
Kosher salt is basically regular salt because salt is kosher. Salt isn't good for you if you eat too much.Answer:Chemically speaking, table salt and coarse (kosher) salt are the same.
The term "kosher salt" derives not from its being made in accordance with the guidelines for kosher foods as written in the Torah (nearly all salt is kosher, including ordinary table salt), but rather due to its use in making meats kosher by removing surface blood. One salt manufacturer considers the term ambiguous, and distinguishes between "kosher certified salt" and "koshering salt": "koshering salt" has the "small, flake-like form" useful in treating meat, whereas "kosher certified salt" is salt that has been certified as such by an appropriate religious body
Kosher salt can be purchased in grocery stores
No kosher salt available
All salt is kosher. "Kosher salt" is a particular grade of salt, with coarse crystals, that is used for making meat kosher, and is also useful in cooking. It's no more kosher than any other kind of salt.
All salt is kosher unless something is added to it that isn't kosher. Kosher salt is just a large grained salt. Use the same amount of any salt.
Most salt is kosher by default unless additives such as flavourings are added, at that point the salt would have to be certified kosher. 'Kosher salt' refers to a large grain salt that is used during the process of kashering meat. Iodized salt is kosher.
Right after you twist the pretzels into shape you usually spread an egg glaze on the pretzels. Since they are moist, the salt sticks to them. When you take them out of the oven, you will see that the salt has actually baked into the pretzel.
