   Use of canning or pickling salt is recommended. Fermented and
   non-fermented pickles may be safely made using either iodized or
   non-iodized table salt. However, non-caking materials added to table
   salts may make the brine cloudy. Flake salt varies in density and is
   not recommended for use.
   
   Reduced-sodium salts, for example, "Lite Salt" may be used in quick
   pickle recipes, as indicated in this guide. The pickles may, however,
   have a slightly different taste than expected. Caution: Use of
   reduced-sodium salt in fermented pickle recipes is not recommended.
