No doubt different salt producers make their coarse salt different "sizes" etc, so there's the difference between what you're used to and what is sold here in Israel.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204231392716397871.post-16398949151420585632015-10-18T22:15:57.496-07:002015-10-18T22:15:57.496-07:00Technically, if there is such a thing, it needs th...Technically, if there is such a thing, it needs the flaky texture to really be considered "kosher" salt. However, given the differences between brands in the us, it seems there's no real definition of the term at all.

I prefer it in cooking and even on my eggs. Table salt is very fine and is much too salty for me. It burns my mouth. Maybe that's because you end up using more in potency or the processing makes it different. I can tell the difference, and I do not like salty foods.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.com
