I have a container of kosher salt on the counter for most cooking uses.
I have a grinder with sea salt for use at the table.

Morton's Lite Salt, if I remember correctly, is a blend of potassium
chloride and sodium chloride. Is it because you need less sodium in your diet?

decades ago. But my doctor is pleased with my b/p.
I don't add much salt to foods but when I do it will be with the
grinder, not from a shaker. The cardiac dietitian told me me cut back
on salt. My GP says to avoid adding it. FWIW worth I monitor my BP and
check it every 2-3 days.The highest it has been in the last month is 117/81. One time last year I went to the pharmacy for a flue shot and
had to wait a few minutes so I sat down at the machine to check my BP.
He came out to get me for the shot and waited until the reading came up.
He told me I had the blood pressure of an teenager.

Exactly. If you buy the box of Morton's and the like, no, you don't.
The sea salt is in a larger crystal that would not work well in original form.

Okay, I thought you might use it because of your blood pressure which is >thought to be related to sodium. My mother used to use it for that

would with 'regular' salt. I've noticed no bitterness,
but I'll check it out tonight when I cook dinner. I'll
sprinkle a bit in my hand and give it a taste, but it
doesn't impart any bitterness to what I've added it to.
Many years ago I tried NoSalt/NuSalt and it had a
distinct off taste to me.

Salt, as discussed here and not the vast family of chemical salts, is
NaCl. That's all. Grind it fine or coarse. Every last thing that makes
it "special" is a contaminant. Some keep it from clumping. Some make it pretty. Some are said to be good for you. Nevertheless, they're all contaminants. NaCl! That's it.

I noticed in the past year I use a bit more than in the past. I'm
thinking my taste buds are not as sharp as they once were. My BP is
still good and I stay hydrated.
My son's doctor said for him to use salt, his sodium is always low.

Sea salt can be a little too coarse, depending upon what you buy.
Sometimes you want a more fine grind, depending on what you're salting.
Having said that, I don't often use the salt grinder. But I do have
one. :)
You can buy fine ground salt, like what is in the little fluted packs. >https://www.gofoodservice.com/p/diamond-crystal-brands-14003 >https://www.walmart.com/ip/Morton-Salt-Popcorn-Salt-3-75-oz/10318916
I use a lot of salt, so grinding it on is cheaper.
