Diatomaceous Earth (Super fine) 100 grams

This Superfine diatomaceous earth has been extra-milled and sorted to an average particle size of less than 300 microns (or 0.3 mm). It has been analysed  with the particle analysis showing 90% containing less than 200 microns. It is a creamy/whitish colour that feels similar to milk powder, easily mixed with food or liquid (although no diatomaceous earth is water soluble).

Like all grades of diatomaceous earth,  Superfine is mined directly from the ground and so is not produced in sterile conditions. While no diatomaceous earth produced in Australia has been certified for human consumption, many consumers do choose to eat it, seeking to obtain the many reported health benefits. 

If you choose to consume diatomaceous earth, spread it in a baking tray and heat in a moderately slow oven of 140-160 degrees (not hotter) for 30 minutes to ensure it is sterilised.

Our high-grade freshwater diatomaceous earth (natural amorphous silica) has been tested by the Russian Academy of Science and has been assessed as among the best quality in the world.  It is ‘animal food-grade’ and is safe for use as a food supplement for pets and other animals (in recommended quantities).  It has also been tested by Queensland Workplace Health and Safety and has been certified as having no detectable crystalline silica  (ie less than 0.1%).

also known as D.E., diatomite, or kieselgur/kieselguhr
