Dill Pickles

Alum powder is a versatile salt that aids in baking leavening, has antibacterial properties, and maintains the crispness of fruits or vegetables throughout the pickling process. Our alum powder is pure, granulated, and useful in making your own pickle recipe, toothpaste, or even play dough. Topically, Alum powder is sometimes as an aftershave, for healing small cuts or to treat canker sores.

Alum can also be used as a preservative for floral arrangements! Simply dip the fresh cut stem in Alum Powder and place in the arrangement.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing.
