Diamond CrystalKosher Salt – Full Flavor, No Additives and Less Sodium - Pure and Natural Since 1886-3 Pound (New Packaging)

I used to use Pink Himalayan salt, but recently found out that most, if not all, had a high amount of some heavy metals. I did some research and found that Diamond Crystal's Kosher Salt Flakes has been 3rd party tested and found to have minimal, if any, heavy metals - so it's now my go-to salt! The one thing I don't care for is that it's in flake form - you need to use more because although it may look as large as a regular grain type, it's not as big... so I feel bad using more, but in reality, it's probably the same amount. :)

This type of “fluffy” salt can s called for in many recipes. Perfect for pinching the amount needed.

Recommend by professional chefs , hard to locate in supermarkets .

big box...will last quite a while

Could never find anything but course in the stores. So, glad they had the flakes available on amazon. Large size. Gonna last me a while. Not too expensive. Tastes fresh, good. I took it from box and placed in mason jars for storage and had so many jars filled. Looks and feels just as I'd hoped. Good quality salt. Perfect for my shaker. I use it on everything. Perfect spice. Easy to use.

So much cheaper than most flake salt!

Like the fact that this salt is free from heavy metals and the fact that some of the more respected chefs use this, so had me wanting to try it. The first thing I noticed is that the 'flakes' are very fine, even thigh this isn't marketed as a 'fine' salt. I'm used to Mortons in the blue box. I guess I'll get used to it, I was wondering though if this is normal.
