need to cook food for dog due to medical reasons, and one of ingredients is iodized salt. so i had a quick look at this topic. so, as far as i remember:
- different brands have different amount of iodine
- iodine dissipates from opened salt container, with speed of dissipation been dependant on temperature and humidity
- if you cook with iodized salt, most of it iodine disappears (depends on brand. some retain more )
- puzzledobserver 2y agoI had never thought about point 1, and never knew about points 2 and 3. Growing up in India, iodized salt was the norm. Given that I'm vegetarian, now that I have moved the US, I have continued to use iodized salt for my own cooking. Whatever Morton / Kroger / other grocery store brand is most readily available. I usually keep it stored in an airtight plastic jar but use it for cooking like normal. Should I be worried about iodine loss during cooking?
- tguvot 2y agodepends on amount of salt that you use and your nutritional requirements... for my dog I add salt after cooking. she won't know the difference
