noniodized

Lacking added iodine

Noniodized describes salt that hasn't had iodine added to it.

Most table salt is iodized—supplemented with iodine to prevent deficiency—but some recipes, particularly for pickling or canning, call for noniodized salt because iodine can discolor foods or affect fermentation: Use noniodized salt for your pickles.
