The first difference between the two is that Kosher salt rarely has iodine in it. Sea salts are often unrefined and contain many more minerals, including iodine, from the sea. Iodine is good for most people and the U.S. mandated...

Hi all, I looked around a bit and didn’t see anything similar, is it possible to put kosher/table salt in the food processor to make pickling salt, or will the presence of the iodine throw everything off? I’ve done...

Bought shrimp (THE BIG ONES) from Gaudaletos in New Paltz. Each time , three times, shrimp tasted badly of iodine. Complained but got a lot of excuses. What’s with this.\? Never had this problem with Peter’s in...

I made real fermented cucumber pickles 15 days ago and I finally tested one yesterday. While the texture is great and the salt level good(I used kosher salt), they have this weird iodine-like taste. Does that mean they...

I absolutely agree with you about iodized salt. I even find sea salt, which has a lot of naturally occurring iodine, tinny. Unfortunately, it seems to be ubiquitous, as many people believe it is the only way to prevent goiter. I...

the same. We used to like it for its light, almost sweet, very smooth flavor, without a lot of iodine notes. Now it tastes and smells far more like iodine, to both of us. Anyone agree? Has anyone heard anything? If we’re...

Kosher salt is pure salt (NaCl). Table salt has anti-caking compounds in it and maybe iodine, if it’s labelled as iodized salt. The grains of kosher salt are bigger than those of table salt. For my salt shakers I get...

I don’t have a degree in food chemistry, but I would suspect a reaction between the amino acids and the sulphur in the onion (varies with type of onion used) or perhaps the iodine (if you used table salt) reacting...

Turkey jelly? Cranberry jelly? Removing radioactive iodine from an irradiated turkey? No pantry should be without some. ;)

I must be craving iodine or pollutants or something, but I swear i’ve been dreaming about scrumptious shrimp dishes. Unfortunately I have no idea where to go... having to shell shrimp makes me mad i’m not a big fan of...

I really like the seafood cobb salad – its kind of pricey but a good version; although sometimes you can taste the iodine in the shrimp.

odours or off tastes (iodine-y) that mar most of the commercial product that I’ve purchased. It tasted sweet, and it was rather large, as dried shrimp go. “They are from Louisiana,” he said. “The Chinese...

Obviously it’s more a ‘scene’ than a serious restuarant, but I still expected better. Ordered some sushi to start, metallic scallop, iodine uni, and fair ama ebi. My friend got a tiny & generic $10 california...

strong) iodine flavor. I was quite surprised, and while I don’t know how much control the kitchen has over that sort of thing, it was disappointing. That was flaw #1. For entrees, my friend had the pork chop and sausage...

Flounder is typically a mild flavored fish and, as with any fish, it should not smell “fishy” if it’s fresh. There are countless things that can contribute to chemical tastes in fish (ammonia, iodine, etc.) but...
