Hand-packed in the USA, this kosher-certified salt is designed for wet curing meats like ham, salami, bacon, and jerky, delivering consistent, safe, and professional-grade results in a convenient resealable pouch. ## Description Wet Curing Salt also referred to as Prague powder #1 or Insta Cure #1, is a mixture of sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium nitrite. 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% sodium chloride (table salt), and annatto as per FDA and USDA regulations. Wet Curing Salt is generally used to wet-cure any type of meat that requires cooking before consumption, such as ham, salami, sausage, jerky, fish, pastrami, corned-beef, and all kinds of bacon. PLEASE NOTE: Curing Salts by itself, is harmful to humans when consumed directly. When it is used to cure meat, it is not present in finished, cured meats in a high enough dosage to cause issues. This makes it entirely safe for the curing process. It should never be used as regular table salt and should not be sprinkled on food for flavoring. FUN FACT: Wet Curing Salt contains a small amount of ground Annatto to create it's light orange color, so that it won’t be confused with table salt.

Fresh, and high quality for the money, you won't be disappointed. Remember, this is Prague powder, used for curing, not seasoning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ? *by J***T on January 23, 2026* What has happened to all the curing salt and why does it look like they are grinding up Himalayan sea salt and calling it curing salt. Curing salt should look like the picture you have on the order and not little pink... The heavy pink is what gives corn beef that deep red what you cook it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pink Curing Salt - KOSHER - Prague Powder #1 - Insta Cure - 10 oz.
