Default Sea salt vs. kosher salt.

What do you prefer. Is there any big difference?

Kosher salt is pure sodium chloride, while sea salt contains a number
of trace impurities, depending where it's from. If kosher salt works
for you I'd just use Morton's.

Impurities sometimes equals pollution. Where is the sea salt from?

It should say on the box.

One of the big industries in the South Bay was production of salt by
evaporating sea water. Most of the impurities were washed out of the
salt as part of the manufacturing process, but brines produced with
the salt were cloudy, not clear.

Sqwertz, it's OK to ask a question when it comes to mind. There's a slightly
different group at this moment. Someone may have new insight.
