We ate lunch at a friend's house a few weeks ago, and they taught us that your standard 2 shekel/kg salt available in a paper packet in every Israeli grocery store does not have any added iodine.
Naturally, iodized salt is a bit more expensive, but even at 10 shekel/kg, (which includes a sturdy plastic tub for easy storage) it's hardly worth importing the stuff. Still, being me, I've been shopping around.
Yesterday, I finalized my purchase at 6 shekel/kg in a mid-level cardboard container, and we once again have iodized salt in our house.
Naturally, now I need to figure out what to do with the unopened packet of non-iodized salt. Never fear, I'll probably use it for the kids' crafts.
