    : Pure lime, chemically changed by simply adding water.
    Slaked Lime.
    A very natural process done by Mother Nature or random chance or God, and by humans intentionally for thousands of years in native and modern cultures. White powder, very fine grind that seems to get everywhere. 100% Pure Calcium Hydroxide. Made in the USA. NOT from China. I could offer cheaper stuff from China, but I just don't trust the purity.
    Calcium hydroxide
    , traditionally called slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formul
    a Ca(OH)
    2
    .
    Slaked lime is a white powder obtained
    by adding enough water to lime to satisfy its chemical affinity for water, thereby converting its natural oxides into hydroxides,
    and it magically evolves into calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)
    2
    or "quicklime." Lime has a low toxicity to humans and is used in many applications, including food products.
    Hydrated lime, although slightly soluble
    only
    in water, forms
    suspensions easily; the resulting powder has a
    very alkaline
    pH of 12.4!
    Calcium hydroxide
    has many nicknames including hydrated lime, builder's lime, slack lime,
    cal
    , and pickling lime.
    Calcium hydroxide is commonly known as edible lime, hydrated lime or slaked lime. Edible lime is an alkaline powder used for a multitude of purposes.
    Although called edible, it is
    not eaten by itself
    . It has been used for millennia with certain natural plants and herbs, such as sacred
    rustica
    tobacco,
    coca
    leaves,
    gambir
    ,
    yopo
    , and betel nut (
    areca catechu
    ), to increase the absorption of their alkaloids into the human bloodstream via the mucous membranes.
    Slaked lime was traditionally used by Native Americans for processing dry corn kernels in a way that increased the absorption of niacin, an essential B vitamin. Additionally, edible lime is used in pickling and processing various food products, as well as in some beverage production. Due to its alkaline properties, it is also used to balance out acidic soil and can be used similarly in mycology when added to substrates.
