Salt is Salt (NaCl) no matter what is origins. Kosher, Sea, Maldon, Rock etc are all MARKETING terms designed to make what you are purchasing more expensive.

Table Salt is Salt with a to which little anticaking agents such as sodium aluminosilicate or magnesium carbonate are added to make it free-flowing. Table salt is also "Iodized" by law in certain countries.
