What else can I help you with?

Is kosher food exclusively seasoned with kosher salt?
No, it is not. Almost all mass produced salts are considered kosher and have been certified kosher by a rabbi or authorized organization. Kosher salt gets its name from from what it was originally used for. Kosher salt is much larger grains and was used to pull the blood out of meats so that it meets the Jewish guidelines. That process is often referred to as "koshering" and that's where kosher salt got its name from. But any salt that is certified free of additives can be certified kosher and used.

Can you use regular salt rather than Kosher sale in a recipe?
Yes. "Kosher" salt is really a misnomer. Coarse salt was used to cure and preserve certain meats, by drawing out residual blood, part of the process of "koshering" meat. So it came to be known as "kosher" salt, when if anything it should be called "koshering" salt. But because kosher salt is like lots of regular salt crystals stuck together, if the recipe calls for regular salt you need to use less kosher salt, but if the recipe calls for kosher salt you will most likely wind up needing more regular salt if you don't have kosher salt handy.
