Which is more soluble Epsom salt or kosher salt?

Sea salt comes from evaporated seawater. The mineral content of sea salt is not limited to the sodium and chloride that make up the traditional salt molecule. Additional minerals can give the salt subtle flavor characteristics that can enhance foods. But, Kosher salt is pure sodium chloride, usually without any additives, and it often comes in coarse crystals. It is not necessarily a kosher product, but it can be certified as kosher for Passover use. The real connection is that kosher salt has been used in the process by which foods are made kosher. It is no better or worse than any other form of table salt. __________ Almost all salt is kosher by default unless flavourings are added to it. Traditionally, kosher salt referred to a coarse salt that is used during the process of kashering meat.


What is the scientific name for kosher salt?

"Kosher salt" is chemically the same as regular table salt, sodium chloride. It's not that the salt itself is kosher (it is, but so is just about any pure table salt). It's really more "koshering salt" ... suitable for use in salting meat to make it kosher (by removing the blood). Kosher salt is usually physically, not chemically, different from regular table salt. The grains tend to be larger and in the form of flat flakes rather than tiny cubes. Kosher salt usually contains no additives such as iodine (regular table salt is often sold with added iodine, usually labelled "iodized salt").

No. Quick salt is another name for saltpeter, or potassium nitrate: among other things, it's used for making cured meats like salami. Kosher salt is made of sodium chloride like regular table salt, but has larger grains and is used to draw blood out of meat in order to make the meat kosher (hence the name).
