Kosher Salt Market: Growing Consciousness among Consumers Regarding Benefits of Kosher Salt to Drive Demand

Additionally, the market also benefits from the facts that the overall requirement of kosher salt per use is more than common salt owing to its open granular structure and high surface area.
