Diamond CrystalKosher Salt Flakes – Full Flavor, No Additives and Less Sodium - Pure and Natural Since 1886-1 Pound Box

Great stuff, and I like it because the big flakes are easier to see. But it's only low sodium in the sense that a given volume of this has less sodium than a salt with finer grains. If you're measuring by weight, there is no difference in the sodium content. 20 grams of this has the same amount of sodium as 20 grams of any other salt. It's my favorite salt--one thing to note is that most salt shakers don't have openings large enough to allow these grains through. I use a shaker like the kind pizza joints use for cheese or red pepper flakes.

The Best salt I’ve tasted. So pure so can eat it just by itself if you’re craving salty food. Most salt has a metallic or trashy after taste. This tastes conepltely pure with no taste that would make your face scrunch up

I know, it’s salt. But, these are prefect little flakes, unlike most kosher salt’s large crystals. This means you can sprinkle them on food and you don’t get the sensation of chewing sand, just little bursts of saltiness. This salt really is different from other Kosher salt brands. For baking or cooking, it doesn’t matter. But, for sprinkling, this should be what you use.

This is ACTUAL KOSHER SALT. Not the huge crystals sold as "coarse kosher salt" that wreck your cooking's flavor and take forever to dissolve, and not the useful-but-not-the-same-thing flake finishing salt sometimes advertised as Kosher (because of course it's halal, it's halite!). This is the real thing - medium-grain, flat-flaky salt that you can crunch with your fingers to adjust the fineness of the texture from medium to a powder. SO much easier to cook with this! It's almost impossible to find this anymore simply due to not being able to tell what one is ordering. I took a risk ordering this so I could write this review, and I'm so delighted it's a positive review.

Great salt. Its about half as salty as iodized salt. I use it in all my cooking because i can make sure what I'm cooking doesnt get too salty. Now I only use iodized salt for blanching vegetables or pasta water. I just keep refilling my containers with diamond kosher and buy this again when I run out.

With the exception of a few specialized salts, this is the only one I ever use. It works well for cooking especially for things like seasoning meat where the shape of the flake makes it stick much better than table salt. It is also easy to simply pinch the amount you want rather than always having to measure.The other thing I use this salt for is as a gentle abrasive for cleaning my cast iron pans on the rare occasion they get something stuck on to them. A little salt, a little oil, scrub with a paper towel and rinse.

This was not the flaky salt I was looking for. Looked like ordinary, small-grained table salt. Taste was good, but wasn't what I'm used to or expected.

This salt is not as salty as regular table salt so it is easier to finely control the amount when cooking. No wonder chefs prefer it.
