Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime, Crispy Flavorful Pickles, 1 lb Resealable Bag

I purchased this to use with eggs, primarily for water glassing. The bag is a generous size and should last a long time, which makes it a good value. The packaging is clear and the instructions are easy to follow, especially for someone preparing to use pickling lime for the first time. I haven’t completed the full pickling process yet, but based on the quality of the product and how much is included, it appears well suited for repeated batches. Everything arrived as expected and was packaged properly. Overall, this looks like a solid option for anyone preparing eggs or other foods that require pickling lime.

Believe it or not I use it to dose to my reef aquarium. Great product been using it for years. Highly recommend.

Everything perfect

Great product. Used for glassing fresh yard eggs.

Worked fine making my lime green pickles A very good price too

Use to water glass the quail eggs. So far so good.

Just got started canning and the first recipe I do is pickled jalapeno rings. It is very powdery and it states to try and not inhale the dust, so I held my breath when I scooped it out of the package and into my pot lol. It worked very well as I believe this product keeps what your pickling crisp. My recipe only called for a cup and a half, so I have plenty leftover for other recipes that may call for this lime.

I had bought this big pack of Tropicana 100% Orange Juice, 11 Fluid Oz each, and boy was this the MOST SOUR ORANGE JUICE EVER! So I cast about for something to neutralize the acidity. I first tried using Tums antacid tablets, which I crushed into coarse grains, only to discover that Calcium Carbonate is very poorly soluble, and the coarse grains would absolutely not dissolve or neutralize the acid taste. I next tried Baking Soda, Sodium Bicarbonate, and boy did that react with this OJ! Immediate fizziness generating CO2 bubbles which persisted in the OJ, turning it into soda. This would have all been great except for the salty taste that it added to the OJ. So how about Calcium Bicarbonate? Discovered that this doesn't exist as a product because it is an unstable molecule. Aha, let's try Calcium Hydroxide! Definitely a base that will neutralize acidity and not leave a salty taste! So I got this and discovered then that Calcium Hydroxide, this product, also does not readily dissolve in water, much less orange juice. Adding a small spoonful to OJ in a glass meant constant stirring did absolutely nothing. But I persisted and put the mix back into the bottle it came in, capped it and shook the bottle for about a minute, and yes, that was enough to disperse this finely ground powder into the OJ to get it to dissolve and neutralize the acid! Some more experimentation showed that a total of about 1/8 of a teaspoon was enough to neutralize the acidity of the 11 Fluid Oz bottle of OJ. More than that and there is a funny extra taste added to the juice. This also worked for some Dole pineapple juice that I had gotten which was pretty sour. One thing about the packaging for this product that others have noted - if you want to keep the resealable zipper working, you have to somehow pry open the heat fused band under the zipper which is what actually seals this bag when you first receive it, and this requires a LOT of finger strength! Otherwise, it would be a lot easier to just cut the entire darn top off and transfer the contents of the entire bag into another container.

Blij dat ik het heb gevonden maar verschrikkelijk duur. Gebruikt om verse eieren van onze kippen te "waterglassen"

Perfect for water glassing eggs.
