Even without iodized salt it's easy to get iodine on a plant-based diet, it just comes down to adding a small amount of some kind of seaweed each day, dulse flakes being a good choice.

But iodized salt is simpler, cheaper, more available, so that's usually my default.

    I don't know about you but seaweed is not often part of my pantry.

    It was in mine, for a while. Like with the salt, the iodine levels in seaweed are generally so high that only a tiny amount is necessary. In some dishes I couldn't taste it at all, and in others it would add a subtle seafood quality to the dish. It's often a key ingredient in mock seafoods.

    If you're somebody who is extremely committed to the 'whole' in whole foods, it's the defacto choice. Otherwise it's just nice to have more options.
