Diatomaceous Earth 1-Pound for Food Grade Use

Nature's Wisdom Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is extremely pure. The consistency of the diatom shape and the absence of unwanted sediment are crucial factors. The diatom must have a tubular shape with holes on the walls, and it must come from a freshwater source because the diatoms in this environment form a harder shell and are less fragile than those found in saltwater. Salt water deposits contain a mix of diatom species, resulting in inconsistent shapes and sediments, rendering them unusable for products. Out of 600 deposits in the US, only 4 are considered "food grade." Even other food grade deposits may contain higher amounts of sediment and clay, making them less effective.

The company has analyzed many other "food grade" deposits and is satisfied that they obtain the highest quality Diatomaceous Earth for their products from the purest freshwater source. It's important to note that DE is not an earth; it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by single-celled plants called diatoms.

The company's 100% Freshwater Diatomaceous Earth is mined in the USA, specifically in Nevada, and is packaged professionally in stainless steel machinery on a dedicated line. Customers can use this Diatomaceous Earth to refill the company's 1 and 3-pound jars.
