    Good Stuff

    This is good quality Potassium Nitrate, lab quality, and all it is advertised as being. For some applications, it may be best to reduce it in size via a blender or a pestle. Wish it was a bit finer, to eliminate the extra step, but overall....I will take the good quality and not complain too loudly.
