Kosher Salt
A cook’s go-to for everyday seasoning! This coarse-grained salt is easy to pinch and sprinkle, with crystals that cling well to food and dissolve easily.
Uses
Use to season meats, poultry, vegetables, soups, and stews. Add to pasta water, marinades, and brines, or sprinkle over food before roasting or grilling. Its coarse texture makes seasoning by hand especially convenient.
From the Colonel
Kosher salt takes its name from the traditional process of koshering meat. Its coarse grains adhere to the surface and help draw out blood.
