First post of the year.... Salt

I was emailing someone on salt, because there was interest in a salted chocolate, either as a sea salt caramel or a salted dark chocolate when the person asked, if there was a difference between regular salt and sea salt.

Yes there is. There's two common salts table salt, and kosher salt. Both are usually mined, and processed. Kosher salt has larger grains and has no preservatives while table salt can have an anti-caking agent and usually contains iodine to help with lymphatic issues (such as goiter).

Sea salt is dried from sea water, and will contain minerals of the sea in question, though I know that some sea salt has been somewhat processed. I've seen red and black sea salt that I believe has had additives.
