Why does iodized salt grow more crystals than epsom salt?

Sodium chloride (iodized table salt has small amounts of potassium iodide added) is not as soluble as magnesium sulfate (epsom salts). As two solutions with the same concentration cool down the sodium chloride will reach saturation first and produce crystals.


Is epsom salt safe enought to use on food?

Sure Or you could use almost any other common source of salt (Sodium Chloride). Rock Salt, icemelt salt, water softener salt. Keep in mind: There are two types of table salt. Iodized and non-iodized. You would get purer crystals using non-iodized salt than using iodized salt, but perhaps it wouldn't make a big difference. "No-Salt" is typically Potassium Choloride. It is a different type of salt. Looking at photos, it looks like they both make a cubic crystal, but perhaps they would be different. You could also easily grow sugar crystals. Epson Salt is Magnesium Sulfate and will also work. Each substance may give slightly different crystals.


Will epsom salt work instead of rock salt for making ice cream?

Most likely, yes.


Why Epsom salt saturation point is different than table salt?

Epsom salt is MgSO4.7H2O, whereas table salt is NaCl [combined with iodine (IF it has been "Iodized," as some table salt can be purchased without the added iodine)].Normal table/cooking salt is Sodium Chloride or NaClEpsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate or MgSO4.7H2OThey are both salts but with a different action. Epsom Salt is often used as an emetic and laxative.

Is Epsom's salt non iodized salt?

Yes it does. In total, it has 84 minerals and trace elements in it. Table salt has 2; sodium and chloride. Most commercially sold 'sea salt' has 8 minerals because of the way it is processed in man-made collection pools.

Rock salt is an epsom salt crystal since it hasn't been iodized?

Nope. "Common" salt is sodium chloride, which can be mined as "rock salt" or from the sea "sea salt. As the respondent says sea salt contains some iodine as well. Epsom salt is entirely different. It is magnesium sulphate, sold as a constipation remedy!
