Why do you need Kosher salt?
Raulmarrio2000:
I am not a Jew, and I don't claim to be Righteous either, but I feel such a strong aversion and repulsion to pork, that if I suspect I may have toched it, I run for soap and water to wash my hands. Unfortunately, one never knows if some chemical additives of food may come from pork......
I wonder if Jews could make Kashrut open, and kosher food widely available to Gentiles, so it is sold in every food stores.
Perhaps it's forbidden.....????? After all, one of the benefits of Kashrut for Judaism is keeping Jews and Gentiles separated and avoid they eat together, lest it increases the possibility of assimilation....

I always felt that kashrut was a way to keep the circle of life going. Those animals which we aren't suposed to eat are meant for other animals to eat.
Foods like Pork, which can be eaten by gentiles...you're possibly right...one reason might be to prevent assimilation.
Ari:
Yes, I believe it refers to how coarse the grains are as was mentioned earlier. Even if pork were kosher, I'm not eating it. O0

What's the difference between Kosher salt (NaCl) and non Kosher salt (NaCl)?

All salt is Kosher the reason why it is called "Kosher Salt" is because even after the the Animal had been slautered it is not kosher until the Blood is removed entirelly and Salt removes the blood
--- End quote ---
I don't understand how you can remove all the animal's blood.
I don't think it's possible to remove all of the animal's blood perfectly.
So, some blood is still there.
Ever heard of kosher pork or kosher ham?
Many years ago I heard of a Jewish couple in Brooklyn, NY having a wedding
and on the menu besides the cake is sushi and kosher ham.
The rabbi said that they drained all of the pig's blood, so now its kosher.
--- End quote ---
Must of been reform. Pig is not kosher now.
And your right not all of the blood is removed, but the majority is, and the one that remains is allowed. 1 thing though, using kosher salt 72 hours after the animal has been slaughtered is not good and wont remove that blood. Right after (within 72 hours, unless they freeze it- might give them more, they (the slaughteres) themselves have to remove the blood. And thats why authentic Glatt Kosher places will do that, and one of the reason why "regular" kosher is in fact not really kosher (as meat is concerned).

On a different note, what makes cheese kosher and unkosher?
--- End quote ---
Rennet, which is used to harden cheese, is often taken from non-kosher animals...

Yea but even Kosher food, a Jew should not really partake with a gentile, because of the reason of assimilation. Thats why during Purim even though the food and wine was 100% kosher the Jews were allmost annihilated (their was a decree made agains't them), because they participated the Ahashverosh's party, etc.
The reason is not hatred, but the reason is that the first step is them sitting and having a meal together, and then because of the bond that people have when eating together one might eventually say "you know I have my daugher for your son, or vice versa and their could be intermarriage, G-d forbid.
