If you are an Orthodox Jew and eat only kosher foods, can you consume iodized salt?

Question

Or does all the salt have to be kosher?

Answer 1

LOL iodized salt is kosher! Look on the canister, you'll see a little U with an O around it, or a K.

"Kosher" salt is just a term for a type of salt.

Answer 2

I can not see why not..

But since your into the Jewish culture

LOOK

I am not sure but,,, 'kosher' salt is a marketing PLOY for a slightly larger grain size sea salt.  - - as I remember.

Answer 3

im pretty sure most salt is kosher. the salt i use is, and its really not that hard to find. even if there's no u or k or cor on the label, i dont think it needs to be kosher. but really, there are so many kosher brands out there, just get onethats kosher just to be safe.

Answer 4

Honestly, I'd just stick with kosher salt.  It's better to cook with anyway.

Answer 5

Iodized salt *is* kosher.  Kosher salt--the kind you're thinking of--is a bit of a misnomer.  It's coarse salt, designed to be used *for* koshering meat--for salting it so as to draw out as much blood as possible.

However, another answer to your question is that if one is an Orthodox Jew, then *everything* one eats must be kosher.
