In the US widely know this variety of salt as Kosher Salt, in the UK is is known as Koshering Salt, which is perhaps a more apt name for the product. The salt is quite similar to common table salt, but typically possesses larger granules and contains no other additives. It gets its name from the fact that it is used to help create kosher meats, helping to extract blood from meat. If the finer grains of common table salt were applied to this purpose it is much more likely that table salt would dissolve during the process, doing little more than creating a very salty meat. This process is used to help meet the dietary rules set by Jewish law, and is intended to draw blood from the meat so as the ingestion of blood is not sanctioned by the Bible.
