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

Diamond Crystal is the Kosher salt that chefs use for cooking. It is not as salty as Morton Kosher salt making it easier to follow recipes and be using the right amount of salt. Since I started using Diamond Crystal I am more than satisfied with it.

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.

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.

I prefer to use diamond crystal salt for some recipes

It has no clumps and a recommendation of 3 years after opening. I am satisfied with the quality of the product.

The cooking standard

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.

The product is good. Unfortunately, the box was delivered damaged & about a third of the contents spilled out
