So, what is potassium aluminum silicate?

Potassium aluminum silicate is a naturally occurring mineral that is commonly used as a food additive. It is a type of synthetic amorphous silica and is often used as an anticaking agent in powdered foods, such as spices and baking mixes. This white powder is odorless and tasteless, and is generally considered safe for human consumption. Potassium aluminum silicate has the unique ability to absorb excess moisture and prevent clumping, making it an ideal ingredient for dry foods. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
