Why choose food-grade diatomaceous earth?

Food-grade diatomaceous earth gives you a simple way to add a fine mineral powder containing naturally occurring amorphous silica to water, smoothies or food. Plain powders offer flexible mixing, while a prepared spice blend adds flavour for drinks and meals.

Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilised remains of microscopic aquatic organisms called diatoms. Food grade identifies a product labelled for use in food. Pool-grade and pest-control products have different intended uses, so never substitute them for a food product.

The food-grade products in this collection are based on amorphous silica. Use only the grade and serving directions shown on the product label. Another type of diatomaceous earth must never be substituted simply because it has the same general name.

Which diatomaceous earth product should you choose?

Choose Supercharged Food Love Your Gut Powder when you want a plain, single-ingredient powder that can be added to water, juice, smoothies or breakfast foods. Earths Purities Repair From Within Diatomaceous Earth is another plain option for mixing into liquid.

Choose Supercharged Food Golden Gut Blend when you prefer diatomaceous earth already combined with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper. The spices make it a better fit for golden drinks, smoothies and food.

Mix fine powders carefully

Diatomaceous earth disperses through liquid rather than dissolving completely, so some settling is normal. Add the amount directed on the label, stir thoroughly and stir again if the powder settles before you finish drinking.

Handle the dry powder close to the glass or blender and avoid creating airborne dust. Keep the container closed between uses and store it as directed on the packaging.

Food-grade diatomaceous earth FAQs

Can I use pool-grade diatomaceous earth instead of food-grade diatomaceous earth?

No. Pool-grade diatomaceous earth is processed for filtration and is not intended for consumption. Use only a product specifically labelled as food grade and follow its directions.

What is the difference between amorphous and crystalline silica?

Amorphous silica has a non-crystalline structure and is the form identified in these food-grade powders. Crystalline silica has a fixed crystal structure and presents greater inhalation hazards. This does not make every amorphous-silica product edible, so use only a product labelled food grade.

Can I take diatomaceous earth without mixing it first?

Do not swallow a spoonful of dry diatomaceous earth. Mix it into liquid or food exactly as directed on the label and avoid creating airborne dust. If you mix it into a drink, some settling is normal because the powder disperses rather than fully dissolves.

Do organic and food grade mean the same thing?

No. Food grade identifies the product's intended food use, while organic is a separate claim made for a particular product. An organic claim does not make pool-grade or pest-control diatomaceous earth suitable for consumption. Always check the full product label.

Why should I avoid inhaling diatomaceous earth powder?

Diatomaceous earth is an extremely fine mineral powder and its airborne dust should not be inhaled. Scoop and mix it gently, keep it close to the liquid and avoid shaking or pouring it in a way that creates a dust cloud. Follow every handling precaution on the label.
