Why do you need Kosher salt?
What's the difference between Kosher salt (NaCl) and non Kosher salt (NaCl)?

[kahaneloyalist]

salt is inherently kosher, this is no such thing as non-kosher salt

[Rubystars]

Kosher salt is a cooking term, like kosher pickles.

[Dr. Dan]

Kosher salt is blessed by Gd...so the Na-Cl has somethign special in the middle of it.

Non Kosher salt is cursed by Gd because the Na and Cl had gay sex together.

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

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.

[דוד בן זאב אריה]

There is Kosher Ham but only from Turkey. Ham means that it comes from the Hamstring. Secondly if it was from a Pig then they are self hating Jews who call themselvs reform

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).

[Ulli]

I know the difference between normal salt and so called kosher salt 

Kosher salt is very coarse grained, so you can put the meat in it in order to extract the rest of the blood without making it too salty.

If you put some meat in normal salt, like you can see it in the salt shaker I can affirm you, that you will not be able to eat it after this procedure.

On a different note, what makes cheese kosher and unkosher?

[Tzvi Ben Roshel1]

"Ever heard of kosher pork"

Yes actually, but it does not exist now. Pork was kosher for a period of time, temporarily when the Jews entered Israel, Prophets allowed it for a short period of time ( note- a Prophet can say for a small period of time, not to follow a commandment, but never to get ride of a commandment). Also it says that in the future the pig will be kosher. The question is asked will the Torah change? NO, but it will be the nature of the pig that will change and it will Chew its cud and still have splitt hoves.

Amoung other things- 1stly the animal which it came from, also if any additives were added, also if someone supervised it (Halev Yisrael). Might be more.

Wow I never knew there was kosher salt.

Non Kosher salt is cursed by Gd because the Na and Cl had gay sex together.

I don't find this jokes about Torah issues, and naming G-d, funny at all.

Regarding salt, I once saw Kosher Salt in a Jewish Market, and I asked an Orthodox Jew why. He said that since salt is milled, it needs supervison, lest it's milled in a non Kosher container. However another Jew told me that it was a very stringent opinion, and not really neccesary.

Tzwi, where have you learned that pork was allowed by the prophets for a time? I have never heard it!!!

It is called Kosher salt, because it is larger and its able to remove blood form meat. One of the laws of Kosher is no drinking of blood in any amount under any circumstances, so Koshe Salt is just salt ground in such a way that makes it good for draining blood out of meat.

 NOt a Rabbi, but a Prophet. In that short specific time it was allowed, when the Jews conquered the land of Israel and had all this property and animals from the Cannanites. A Prophet- from G-d's orders made a decree that for that period of time (ONLY)they could have eaten specifically pig.

[Tzvi Ben Roshel1]

These are the ones that you shall not eat... and the chazir for it splits its hoof but the cud it chews not (Leviticus 11, 4-7).

Why is its name called chazir? Because the Holy Name Blessed Be He will return it to Israel.
It is cited in Ritva Kiddushin 49b,


The Ohr Hachauym to this verse proposes that in the future time the pig will chew cud and therefore turn into a kosher animal. In Makor Chaim, a supercommentary on Ibn Ezra, R. Shem Tov Ben Falkira is quoted as saying that that the taste of pig meat will become known to the wise ones in the future time, not by eating actual pig, but through their wisdom they will be able to perceive it in other foodstuffs

When the day were to come that pigs actually do this, I don't think I would desire to eat it...what do the Rabbis say about people who feel that way?
