Best Answer

Epsom salts are larger, and it will say Epsom salt on the package, at least most of the time. Epsom Salt also comes in larger packages

You can tell the difference scientifically because Epsom salt has a lower pH level, dissolves in Lugol's solution and reacts with heat. If you try these experiments be careful and protect yourself.
