What is the exact amount of salt that a Rabbi can bless in the making of Kosher salt?

Whether or not a food of any kind is kosher has nothing to do with being blessed by a Rabbi. By default, all salt is kosher unless something is added to it to render it not kosher, additives that are non-kosher are usually flavourings.

Who decides if food is kosher?
The Bible states which foods are clean or unclean in Leviticus 11 and other parts. However, some Rabbis bless food to make it "kosher." __________ Food is NOT made kosher by being blessed by a rabbi. Around the world there are kashrut organizations that supervise commercial food producers to make sure that they follow the rules of kashrut in making their products.

Why is it important to be blessed by the rabbi in a bar mitzvah?
It is NOT important to be blessed by the rabbi when recognizing a child who has become a bar mitzvah. There is no such requirement. When it does happen, the Rabbi isn't actually blessing the child. The Rabbi is blessing God for the child, or asking God to bless the child. But this is not specifically done for a bar mitzvah.In Judaism, a rabbi is not a priest, and cannot bless objects or people. The concept of blessing in Judaism is more of a thanking. We bless God and we ask God to bless us. It is nothing like the Catholic concept of transubstantiation.
Does a rabbi bless every chicken in a kosher meat plant?
No, not at all. In fact, many people think "kosher" is about a rabbi saying a blessing. However, that is not part of the process, nor is it what makes a certain kind of food (in this case, chicken) kosher. The rabbi might be inspecting the plant for cleanliness; making sure the chicken was raised in a humane fashion; and ensuring that the laws for kosher slaughter of an animal were observed, so that the animal did not suffer needless pain. But saying a prayer occurs just before a Jewish person eats something (similar to Christians saying "grace" before meals). I enclose a link to a site that gives an understandable explanation of how (and why) food is koshered. ====================================== Addendum, intended to clarify:-- A blessing by a rabbi is not a part of the ritual slaughter of a kosher chicken. If a chicken is defective, or deformed, or ill, or not properly slaughtered, then all the blessings by all the rabbis in town wouldn't make it kosher. -- The slaughter is performed by an individual educated and trained in the procedure and its laws, who may also be an ordained rabbi but is not required to be. -- Each and every chicken in a kosher meat plant is slaughtered by one of those individuals, according to the same meticulous procedure and its laws.

Why is the back of a cow not kosher?
The question of what foods are Kosher and what foods aren't comes down to when the Bible was first being written. The Hebrew leaders back then made the decisions as to what Jews should or should not eat. There is some scientific reasoning behind some of the rules, like, for example; pork, if not cooked properly can make you sick because of Trichinosis worms that live in the meat. Telling people not to eat pork will make sure no one gets sick because some may not cook it properly. Other examples are simply based on whether or not a Rabbi blesses a food. Some water and soft drink companies have Rabbis come into the plants and bless the vats. Kosher animals have split hooves and chew their own cud. Pigs do not chew their own cud. Kosher food has nothing to do with blessing the food. the mashgiach (kosher supervisor and doesnt have to be a rabbi, makes sure that non kosher substances don't go near the kosher food.
