I've looked all over for pickling lime, all the local grocery stores, even a polish market. Where can i find this stuff?

thanks.

Try a Mexican market. They use it to make corn tortillias. They call it Cal. You can also find Mrs. Wages online.

It would be a seasonal product for canning in many locations.

I get 50lb bags from a local metal plating shop. No limit or min. order.

And why is this better than conventional kalkwasser mixes?

cause its the same stuff in a 50lb bag at wholesale rates

Right. It is not better, just cheaper for much the same thing. 50 pounds can cost less than $20 (at least it was the last time I got some).

Interesting! I hadn't heard of that possibility. Any idea what they use it for?
