Fiesta Brand Extra Fancy Curing Salt

[cstallings]

I found this at academy sports. I'm about 100% positive this is Cure #1, but wanted someone to verify. If I remember correctly cure # 2 has the nitrites in addition to nitrates.

Ingredients:

Salt, Sodium Nitrite (6.25%), Propylene Glycol and Sodium Bicarbonate as Processing Aids and FD&C Red #3.

Yes that's pink salt, prague #1. I wonder what the other two ingredients bring to the party?

Propylene Glycol is a free-flow agent and Sodium Bicarbonate is a buffer.

Cure #1 is nitrite

Cure #2 is nitrate

Products such as Morton's Tenderquick are a blend of nitrite and nitrate..

Cure #2 is nitrate and nitrite.

Some cure #2 is 6.25% nitrite and 1% nitrate and some is 5.67% nitrite and 3.63% nitrate.
