What is kosher salt?

There are a variety of kosher salts in the market. Here we compare Diamond Crystal kosher salt's unique, hollow, multi-faceted salt crystals and a competitor's mechanically compacted, flat flake salt. 

Diamond Crystal kosher salt has a high surface area for improved adherence and excellent solubility. Greater adherence means less waste.

Compacted flake salt has a moderate surface area and moderate solubility speed. 

Diamond Crystal salt crystals are fragile enough to crush between fingers for precise seasoning control. The result is a pure, clean taste and a quick flavor burst.

Compacted flake salt is more dense, has thicker flakes making it difficult to crush and easier to over-salt food.

Diamond Crystal kosher salt is additive-free while the compacted flake salt contains an anti-caking agent. 

And for sodium-conscious individuals, Diamond Crystal kosher salt has less sodium by volume than other kosher salts. With the right kosher salt and a few cooking tips, one can create healthier menus - without sacrificing flavor.
