You can. You can also sprinkle dirt in your food if you feel like it.
Salt sold as "rock salt" generally is pretty much as recovered, with whatever dirt or impurities were in it while it was in/on the ground left there. Iodized salt is generally purified along with the iodization process.
Also, and this may be important, iodine is a vital nutrient. If you eat a lot of seafood, you're probably getting all you need from that source. However, if you live inland or don't eat seafood (from the ocean... Freshwater Fish don't count), then you might not be getting enough iodine. Iodine deficiency is considered to be the world's leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities... and the iodization process costs, roughly, $0.05 to treat enough salt for a person for an entire year.
Rock salt is typically not iodized. Iodized salt is table salt to which iodine is added in order to prevent iodine deficiency. Rock salt is generally in its natural state and does not undergo the iodization process.
Iodized salt helps prevent goiter and mental retardation. The non-iodized salt helps maintain the color and texture of pickled food and it does not affect the taste of food when cooking.
Iodized salt will dissolve faster in water than rock salt. This is because iodized salt has smaller particle size compared to rock salt, allowing it to dissolve more quickly due to the increased surface area exposed to the solvent.
Fewer and fewer cooks are using iodized salts in preparation of foods. Instead they substitue sea salt which has proven to be a healthier choice. For religous reasons, some restaurants may use only kosher salt in their cooking.
1. Rock salt in the mine hasn't iodine. 2. Iodized table salt has 20+/-5 mg iodine/kg of salt, as potassium iodide or iodate.
Rock salt typically dissolves faster in water than iodized salt due to its larger crystal size, which has more surface area contact with the water. Iodized salt contains additional additives that can slow down the dissolution process.
A salt with fine granulation is dissolved faster; also the solubility increase with the temperature. Stirring improve the speed of dissolution. Any difference between iodized or not iodized salt.
It is difficult to provide an exact conversion as the iodine content in iodized salt varies. However, as a general estimate, you would need around 1 tablespoon of iodized salt to match the iodine content of 1 cup of rock salt.
Rock salt is better than iodized salt for producing electricity because it has higher conductivity due to the presence of impurities. These impurities allow for the flow of ions, which facilitates the movement of electrons and thus increases the conductivity of the salt solution. Iodized salt, on the other hand, may have additives that can hinder the flow of electricity.
Iodized salt is the best to use !
