Morton's Kosher salt *has* additives but it works fine when you
need a coarse salt for regular cooking. There's no point in
using it instead of table salt if it is to be dissolved.

Blessings don't concern me or its ritual use but it is good for
sprinkling on vegetables before broiling and as a basis for
roasting things on salt (like salmon).
