What does Diatomaceous Earth taste like? I am curious (esp. after reading the review that claims hers tasted like bad food).

I don't know what she mixed it with but I just take a little bit of iced tea in a glass and mix up my tablespoon drink it and follow it up with some more tea and there is no taste of anything but the tea. My sister mixes hers in with a smoothie and there is no taste at all. He/She must have mixed theres with something elsle that was rotten. This stuff has no taste just a texture. I have been using this for a couple years and I won't ever go without it.

I don't mind the taste at all. Try mixing with V8 Juice (1 Tbls to 4oz juice) ... be sure to mix well and drink cold.

Almost tasteless, but the texture, when put in water for drinking, is a little powdery. I use a T. spoon or 2 in water every day. It has had an amazing effect of significantly reducing the grey in my hair. I am 69 years old and have only a little grey hair. Plus, it is supposed to remove any parasites as well.

It tastes like nothing really. Mostly like eating baking flour. I mix it water most days. Other days I throw it in my smoothie.

It tastes, like, well...dirt. I never just "eat" it. I add it smoothies, hot cereal or if I'm in a hurry, just filtered drinking water. I mix one heaping teaspoon to my pick of the day and mix it in.

I am not sure what it tastes like alone. probably like ground chalk. I mixed it with something else, even for my dogs. for them I used gravy added dog food and mixed it in or put it in the center of a peanut butter sandwhich I fed them. Mixed in soft, canned food worked for the cats and a mashed banana for the rabbit.

Hmm I just tried some out of ours and it tastes normal. I will say though we always use our Brita filter so it may just be a temporary taste when new.

Taste is not bad, I sometimes add honey to taste better. You should try that!

It's horribly bitter. I have accidentally gotten it in my mouth a few time, so YUCK! But that is the point, so it's good. :)

Tastes pretty good in my opinion...like vanilla and whatever you mix it w/if anything. I'm usually in a hurry so just dump in a few organic frozen blueberries or whatever I have. I also plan on trying a new one I just found out about called SFH...check it out at www.SFH.com

Greetings. I did taste the shea butter. It taste pretty much like it smells. I didn't cook with it,but I did read information on this grade of shea. You can cook with it,but I don't know which foods are good to cook it with. Hope this helps. God bless.

I didn't notice that on mine. It sounds weird but you might try licking it and seeing if it tastes like anything. For better or worse your food will end up tasting like anything you cook it in. If it tastes like nothing you are fine.

My son hated the chocolate cake I made with hemp oil. My husband loved it. It does have a distinct taste. So really depends how much you like the flavor.

The best way to understand the attributes of "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" is to just type that into your computer, but to answer your question it is about 85% silica. Don't let this scare you off as this product has many very good qualities. I mix this with my chicken feed and have been doing this for several years. My wife uses it in her garden as a pest control and i use it as a dust bed for my chickens to dust in to clean them from mights and other parasites common to chickens. I am a safety and health professional in the mining industry and know about the silica that comes from the mining process. I have messed with Diatomaceous Earth for over 40 years of and on and have had no - problems with it only + results. Howard J. Campbell of Oracle, AZ 85623

Yes, it pretty much tastes like plastic. It's not unbearable, however. I would recommend a carbon, i.e. activated charcoal filter to overcome this problem, if you can't get past the taste.

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

Hi Stephanie, Im not sure about all of those as I stopped ordering the product last year. The flavor changed in my last few canasters, it literally started tasting like dirt. I thought Id share since I had recommended it to a friend who had the same issue as well.

To me, erythritol tastes just like sugar, and I am quite picky with my tea sweetener. I do not like truvia....and I can tell if it is in anything. I cannot taste erythritol. I know people vary greatly in this though.

Go to wolfcreek.com for complete detailed info on food grade Diatomacious Earth and ALL its miraculous uses. Yes it will help, but remember if breathed in dry it can hatm your lungs. Its worth the buy, but be a smarter consumer and get educated at the site I provided. Hope that helped.
