Hoosier Hill Farm Alum Granulated Pickle Powder, 1 lb Jar

I wasn't very familiar with alum powder before this, but after looking into it and trying it out for a small batch of pickles, I can see why people use it. It's meant to help keep pickles and veggies crisp during the pickling process, which is different from pickling salt. The texture is very fine, so it dissolves easily, and you only need a small amount per recipe. I like that the container is a full pound, definitely enough to last through a lot of canning or food prep projects. If you pickle at home or want extra crunch in your jars, this seems like a good staple to have on hand.
