Flavor Profile
Clean salt flavor with faint mineral notes. Crisp flakes add light crunch when used as a finishing salt.
How To Use
Use in place of fine salt, adjusting for crystal size; 1 teaspoon kosher salt equals about 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt. Sprinkle on vegetables, meats, salads, or cookies before serving.
FAQ
Is kosher salt the same as regular table salt?
No. Kosher salt has larger, flaky crystals and usually contains no additives, while table salt is finely ground and often includes anti-caking agents.
How do I substitute kosher salt for fine salt?
Use about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt for every 3/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt. Because the crystals are larger, volume measurements are not equal.
Why do chefs prefer kosher salt?
Many cooks prefer kosher salt because the larger flakes are easy to pinch and distribute evenly. The clean flavor and lack of additives also make it versatile for everyday cooking.
