But you can get it iodized or plain...  I was under the impression the
iodine is to prevent goiter (as another poster also noted...)  I've
bought both iodized and plain and never noticed a difference in moisture
absorption.  (I think the Morton's plain also has the "When it rains,
it pours" slogan on the box, but am unsure about that.)
