Review: Neutralizes the sour acidity of orange juice. Bag is very hard to open - 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. Review: Great - Worked exactly as expected and produced great results. Easy to use and helped achieve the perfect texture. The packaging was secure and the product was fresh. Highly recommend for anyone making pickles. ## Features - AT-HOME PICKLING: Use this pickling lime for pickling cucumbers the old-fashioned way, ensuring extra crispness and flavor in your homemade pickles. - VERSATILE USES: Make perfect Cucumber Lime Pickles (recipe on each bag), Green Tomato Pickles, Watermelon Rinds, and Citron Pickles. - INGREDIENTS: Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime contains food-grade calcium hydroxide with no additives or preservatives. - KOSHER CERTIFIED: Made in the USA, this pickling lime ensures quality and authenticity for your home canning projects. - RESEALABLE BAG: This product comes with 1, 1 pound bag of Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime.

Basically, you bring the corn and lime water mixture up to a boil for about 20 minutes, then let it sit overnight. Next morning, rub kernels between your hands while rinsing with water to remove skins. Of course you can find more details on the internet. **Q: I heard completely covering raw eggs in slaked lime powder will preserve fresh eggs for 8 months w/a success rate of 100%.Has anyone tried this?** A: Your question was posted in 2016. I did this for the 1st time last summer, 2021, for winter use when our older hens slowed way down in their egg production. The way I was told, and followed, was to use clean, unwashed eggs. Their bloom needs to be left. If an egg has visible poop on the shell, do not try to preserve it. My friend also told me to wash the lime off the preserved egg before cracking it open. And she recommended cracking each egg in a separate dish, just in case it went bad, before adding to your other ingredients. The preserved eggs got us through last winter and I'm now putting some back for this winter. **Q: Can I use this in formenting?** A: Im not sure, but I found this info...The Difference Between Pickling and Fermenting. ... Here's what you need to remember: Pickling involves soaking foods in an acidic liquid to achieve a sour flavor; when foods are fermented, the sour flavor is a result of a chemical reaction between a food's sugars and naturally present bacteria β€” no added acid required. **Q: Can I use this for egg storing?** A: Yes. You can use this for Waterglassing eggs. But make sure the eggs you are going to waterglass are freshly laid, unwashed eggs. Store bought eggs will not work with this method, because the protective layer has been washed off and bleached, this will cause the lime to seep thru the eggshell and ruin the egg. There are many videos that show you how to waterglass fresh eggs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neutralizes the sour acidity of orange juice.

Easy to use and helped achieve the perfect texture. The packaging was secure and the product was fresh. Highly recommend for anyone making pickles. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quantity *by K***T on February 25, 2026* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime, Easy-To-Make, Crispy Flavorful Pickles, Tasty Creations, Long-Lasting Resealable Bag, Variety of Uses, 1 lb Resealable Bag - Mrs. Wages Pickle Mix, Xtra Crunch, Easy-To-Use, Fast Results, Great Taste & Crispness, Ensures Crunchiness, 5.5 oz Jar (Pack of 1) - McCormick Culinary Pickling Spice, 12 oz - One 12 Ounce Container of Mixed Pickling Spice, Best for Seasoning Pickles, Corned Beef, Pot Roasts and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1597805-pickling-lime](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1597805-pickling-lime) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
