High-Grade Diatomaceous Earth 1-Pound

Diatomaceous earth (DE), which is derived from the fossilized remains of microscopic aquatic plants called diatoms, is an extremely pure and natural substance. The ideal diatomaceous earth should have a consistent diatom shape and be free from unwanted sediment. The desired shape of the diatom is tubular, with holes running along the walls.

It is important to source diatomaceous earth from a freshwater environment, as the diatoms in these settings form a harder and more durable shell compared to those found in saltwater. Saltwater deposits often contain a mix of diatom species, resulting in inconsistent shapes and sediments, making them less suitable for use in products.

Out of the 600 known diatomaceous earth deposits in the United States, only four are considered "food grade," meaning they meet the highest standards of purity and quality. Even among the food-grade deposits, some may still contain higher amounts of sediment and clay, reducing their effectiveness.

At our company, we have carefully analyzed many "food grade" diatomaceous earth deposits and have determined that the purest and highest-quality diatomaceous earth for our products comes from a freshwater source. This diatomaceous earth is 100% natural, with no additives or fillers, and is mined in the USA, specifically in Nevada.

To ensure the highest level of quality and safety, our diatomaceous earth is packaged professionally using stainless steel machinery on a dedicated production line. This allows us to offer our customers the option to refill their 1 and 3-pound jars with our pure, food-grade diatomaceous earth.

In summary, the diatomaceous earth we provide is an exceptionally pure and natural substance, derived from the fossilized remains of freshwater diatoms. Its consistent shape, lack of unwanted sediment, and superior quality make it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
