KOSHER SALT: Is a pure mined salt. or least it should be. It gets its name from a process called Koshering. This process is a Jewish religious process, where meat is soaked in a brine for 24 hours before cooking. This salt is very common in commercial kitchens because the salt comes flaked, rather than in granule form. It is easier to hold the salt flakes in your fingers, allowing even disbursement over your food. Kosher salt has a clean taste, which is felt toward the top of the tongue, Kosher salt dissolves after a fair amount of time. However, it is clear.
