In my cooking and baking adventures, I've noticed that food artists with a bend toward natural and organic also have a bend toward kosher salt and/or sea salt. Other than the size of the crystals, I wasn't sure what the differences were. I found a good explanation on the Food Network web site and thought I'd share, in case you too were curious. The site fails to mention that table salt is the only salt that is generally fortified with iodine, a necessary mineral for our bodies. And in general, most of us get all of our iodine from salt. Here's the link.
Meanwhile, I am researching high fructose corn syrup. Stay tuned. It's coming.

that's funny - i just bought kosher salt yesterday for a new way of bread baking that i'm going to try
ReplyDeletei use sea salt that does contain iodine
where i can buy it you can either get it iodine free or with iodine
if you use it for nasal irrigation you want it without iodine
also fyi the current issue of prevention magazine has a HFCS article that tries to present both "sides" of the issue. of course they say that neither side is really right but has an agenda.
Ooooo HFCS! I'll stay tuned for that one. Casey eats corn syrup on his pancakes- gross!
ReplyDeleteYes but thats not "high fructos" corn syrup! And casey is a very smart guy with great tastes in syrup....
ReplyDeletetee hee.
