It is not blessed by a rabbi nor is it healthier than any other salt. The only difference is that it is composed of large irregular shaped flakes which, after slathering it on a piece of meat to draw out the blood, can be easily washed off.</p> Fri, 17 May 2019 18:47:03 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 7769 at /oss /oss/article/general-science/coumarin-illegal-chemical-causing-americans-miss-out-sweet-treat <div></div> Tue, 04 Jul 2017 19:31:30 +0000 Cassandra Lee – OSS Intern 2565 at /oss
