LPS Salt vs Normal Salt

Hello,

Is there any difference between the salt purchased from the LPS or from a normal store\supermarket?

Thanks,

 

I think the one at the supermarket has Iodine in. Check the label first if it has Iodine in, then it is not the correct salt. I have use the dishwasher salt in emmergencies. You do also get normal course salt at the suprmarkets. check labels.

 

@butcherman & @Risen thanks for info much appreciated

 

All common salt destined for human consumption, is iodized, by law.

 

Not true. Or the shops are breaking the law. I prefer to buy non-iodated salt and it is freely available.

 

Jenn, for sure you get. But read the qualification. Common. Human consumption. In other words, the cheap, affordable to the masses, salt. I think I read it on a no name packet in PnP.

 

@Tom.K Well, I never! I wonder when that happened? However, you can still get non-iodated salt at the shops. It seems the iodated one is labeled "Table Salt" and the non-iodated is called "Sea salt". But, you also need to watch out for other additives. Is the plain old "rock salt" safe to use? What about Koshering salt?

 

That is what I am using, so I hope so!

 

check your local co-op or pool shop. pool salt is non iodized and very cheap.

@Tom.K my bag of cheapy PnP rock salt contains iodine, check the ingredients
