Not for: Anyone who needs dietary iodine.
What the AI looks for in Table Salts
- Iodized vs plain
- Choose iodized for everyday shaker use, and plain for brines and ferments. Iodized salt is a major dietary iodine source, but its additives can cloud brines.
- Baking conversions
- Recipes that call for 'salt' with no type usually mean table salt. Substituting kosher salt by volume under-salts the bake.
Brands that matter
- Morton: Table, plain and pickling salts.
- Diamond Crystal: Also makes table and pickling salts.
What to avoid
- Using iodized table salt in lacto-fermentation.
