What is the scientific name for kosher salt?

There is no specific scientific name for kosher salt. It's simply a type of sodium chloride (NaCl), which is the chemical compound that makes up all salt.

Kosher salt is distinguished by its larger grain size and flaky texture, which is a result of its minimal processing. This makes it ideal for koshering meat, as the larger grains can easily draw out moisture and impurities from the surface.

So, while kosher salt has specific characteristics and uses, it's still chemically the same as other types of salt.
