"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").

∙ 15y agoThe formula for Kosher salt is NaCl. It has no additives. The thing that makes it different from plain table salt is that the crystals are considerably bigger. The large surface areas of the crystal make it absorb liquids better. Kosher salt is called "Kosher" because it is used to make meat Kosher.
