Silicon Dioxide

Just don’t inhale your spices and you’re good 👍🏼

Silicon dioxide helps to keep spices from clumping by adsorbing water onto its very porous surface. This can be particularly helpful you live in a humid environment. There are versions without anti caking ingredients, but that doesn’t mean the ones with them aren’t safe or need to be avoided. It is quite possible to buy one without demonizing the other. Yay for choices!

And remember, if someone is trying to scare you about a particular ingredient but aren’t providing dose and evidence of harm at that dose, they’re either clueless or trying to deceive you (and most likely trying to sell you something too).
