Pure Calcium Hydroxide [Slaked Lime] ⊘ Non-GMO Gluten-Free Vegan - 50g/2oz

Pure Calcium Hydroxide [Slaked Lime] ⊘ Non-GMO Gluten-Free Vegan - 50g/2oz

Q: When nixtamalizing corn, how much should be used? My corn had fallen apart based on recommended values from various sources, 1lb corn:1/8th cup lime

My grandma's recipe called for 1.5 "cucharadita" (teaspoon) per kg. of dry corn. 1 lb is approximately 450 grams of kernels, so 3/4 teaspoon calcium hydroxide per pound of corn?

Q: is this 100% pure Calcium Hydroxide? or is there something else added?

There is nothing added, it's just calcium hydroxide.

Q: Why does the red warning label at the back say it shouldn't be ingested and may cause death?

Because that's exactly what might happen, it could cause death. Calcium hydroxide is a very strong base similar to potassium or sodium hydroxide (Lye). Follow directions carefully!.
