Many people are shocked to discover that diatomaceous earth can be used in 100 different ways. This naturally occurring substance is composed of diatoms that have fossilized over millennia in fresh water lakes. As time passed, these fossilized diatoms accumulated into huge deposits. When mined and ground into powder it becomes diatomaceous earth. Not all diatomaceous earth is created equal. DiatomaceousEarth specializes in providing clean, pure and effective food grade DE. Most diatomaceous earth suppliers simply hand scoop DE into zip lock baggies, but we are committed to providing you with diatomaceous earth you can trust. Everything at DiatomaceousEarth is professionally packaged using state of the art stainless steel equipment so you can be confident there aren’t any contaminants in your diatomaceous earth.
