Is this used to make lime water?** A: Yes. **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** A: 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?** A: 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?** A: 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).

I noticed a couple of slaked lime products here on Amazon, but was hesitant reading reviews and product source. I have purchased multiple Modernist Pantry chemical agents in the past so I know they are legit, pure, and ready to use. In Thailand, calcium hydroxide (or slaked lime - specifically, the clear water obtained by mixing it with water and letting the solids settle) is used as a portion of the liquid in mixing batters on deep-fried items, I used it to make something quick to test -- specifically chicken fingers with a seasoned flour-corn starch batter -- and the batter turned out crispy and adherent to the quickly fried fingers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pure Calcium Hydroxide [Slaked Lime] ⊘ Non-GMO ❤ Gluten-Free ☮ Vegan - 50g/2oz - Pure Original Ingredients Epsom Salt (1 lb) Pure Magnesium Sulfate, Soaking Solution --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/46707910-pure-calcium-hydroxide-slaked-lime-non-gmo-gluten-free-vegan](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/46707910-pure-calcium-hydroxide-slaked-lime-non-gmo-gluten-free-vegan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
