Cultured Celery Powder (Veg Stable 506) 2.5oz pack

506 celery juice powder is commonly used in place of curing salt as a natural alternative. 506 celery juice powder is the celery powder for curing that's used by The Bearded Butchers in their butcher shop in Creston Ohio.

506 celery juice powder is the strongest version available for curing meat. It can be used as jerky cure or bacon cure, and is the preferred celery powder for curing meat in any situation where natural cure is desired.

Cultured Celery Juice Powder is a commonly used natural alternative in place of Sodium Nitrite (pink curing salt) to improve color, and reduce pathogen/microbial activity. It is commonly used in combination with Cherry Powder to achieve cure acceleration, to improve curing color, taste, and texture, and to reduce pathogen/microbial activity.
