Our take on the Earthworks Health Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth 1 lb Jar

Earthworks Health sells food-grade diatomaceous earth in a 1 lb jar. It is a fine silica powder, about 89% silica with trace minerals, marketed for people and for livestock such as chickens, goats, cattle and sheep. Food-grade DE is a mild abrasive powder; it is not a treatment for any medical condition, and the main use people report is as a deworming and digestive supplement for animals and people. The 1 lb jar is the small entry size; larger sizes come in a jug.

Questions and answers

Is food-grade diatomaceous earth safe to eat?
Food-grade DE is sold for human consumption in small amounts, but it has no proven health benefit. Keep intake small and drink water, since the powder absorbs moisture.
How much do I give chickens or goats?
Labels and forums give mixed doses, often about 1–2% of feed by weight for livestock. Follow the package label, and ask a vet for a real parasite problem.
Can I use it for pest control around the house?
Food-grade DE can be dusted in cracks and coops to dry out insects, but it works only when dry. It is not a fast knockdown and needs reapplication.
Is it the same as pool-grade DE?
No. Pool-grade DE is heat-treated and not safe to eat. Only buy DE labeled food grade for people or animals.
What size should I buy?
The 1 lb jar suits a single person or a small flock. Livestock owners go through it quickly and should buy the larger jug.
