Koshering Salt – The Pinch-Perfect Classic for BBQ, Brining & Beyond

The Perfect-Sized Grain

When it comes to seasoning like a pro, grain size matters. Spicecraft’s Koshering Salt delivers that sweet spot: large enough to grab with your fingers, cling to meat, and stick around during cooking—but not so coarse that it rolls off or fails to dissolve in time. Whether you’re koshering, brining, BBQing, pickling, or building spice rubs, this salt gives you the texture, flavour, and consistency you want—without the additives you don’t.

1. A Brief History of Kosher Salt

Despite the name, kosher salt isn’t necessarily blessed or certified kosher—it gets its name from its original use in koshering meat under Jewish dietary laws. Traditional kosher practice required meat to be salted to remove surface blood before cooking, and for this, coarse, flaky salt was perfect. It didn’t dissolve too quickly and could be easily rinsed off after drawing out the blood.

The earliest commercial kosher salts emerged in the U.S. in the early 1900s, mainly under brands like Morton and Diamond Crystal, and by mid-century, it became a pantry staple far beyond Jewish households. Today, chefs around the world swear by kosher salt for its clean taste, tactile control, and versatility.

2. Why Chefs Love It Today

Kosher salt is prized in kitchens around the globe because of three key traits:

• Pinchability: Perfect for seasoning by feel

• No Additives: Unlike table salt, kosher salt is typically free of iodine and anti-caking agents

• Flavour clarity: It enhances, rather than overwhelms, natural flavours

It’s used in everything from BBQ rubs to bread dough, and from brines to finishing roasts. And because it dissolves slower than fine salt, it’s also great for dry brining meats or seasoning chips straight out of the fryer.

3. Grain Size, Types & Popular Brands

Not all kosher salt is the same. Grain size and flake structure can vary significantly by brand—affecting both flavour and how much you need to use.

Here’s how the most well-known kosher salts from USA compare:

🧂 Diamond Crystal (USA)

• Texture: Light, hollow flakes

• Perks: Easy to pinch, dissolves quickly, used by top chefs

• Weight: Light — 1 tbsp ≈ 9g

🧂 Morton Kosher Salt (USA)

• Texture: Denser, compact flakes

• Perks: Readily available, great for rubs and koshering

• Weight: Heavier — 1 tbsp ≈ 17g

🧂 David’s Kosher Salt (USA)

• Texture: Similar to Morton

• Perks: Certified kosher, used in traditional Jewish cooking

⚠️ Pro Tip: If you’re following a recipe that calls for “1 tablespoon of kosher salt,” the actual weight can vary by brand. When precision matters, go by grams, not spoons.
