Pink sn?

[Wakawaka]

Sorry I talked about this in my last thread but trying to buy this now, I live in the states and can order it online, despite being 95-99% alot of the SN I can get are pink and I genuinely don't know why, from research it should but whitish or yellow

Will the pink matter?

From what I am reading pink curing salt is a combination of nitrite and nitrate. That is not what you want.

edit to refine. I don't want to do a bunch of research because it's not the thing you need, but pink curing salt is a whole different thing.

And this is precisely why you should demand pure sodium nitrite. There are many users of the pink stuff who have posted that it ruined the valuable meat they were trying to preserve. Get the good stuff, and if anybody you are trying to buy it from is stupid enough to ask you why, you tell them that you are sick and tired of having the shitty pink garbage ruin your perfectly good and prized rare venison.

Nobody should ever be stupid enough to do anything except go out of their way to accommodate you, but if you detect a scintilla of resistance, then it is your responsibility as the customer/boss to make them feel stupid for ever questioning anything about what you are ordering, or your vastly superior knowledge of experience on the subject and the product you are ordering.

I guess my only problem is money, I could've gotten it for 20 but upon further look they're all pink, up to 50 would be pure white

Even in death im cheap

Given its toxicity SN is sometimes colored as pink on purpose just to make it distinguishable from common salt or sugar. If the percentage of purity is right then it's ok, even if pink.

Hahaha I know what you mean XD I'd order N or an inert gas tank but I don't want to spend (and potentially lose) the money. As if it matters in the end. I actually saw SN for sale on ebay once, really regret not going for it.

"Cheap???" Then make your own! (Hell, there are plenty of YouTube tutorials on it.) Are your skills chemistry deficient? Then find a skilled chemist who you can pay to inexpensively make it for you... (I actually expect this to become a major underground enterprise within the UK, and in years past I have known chemists who committed suicide, so there probably have been and are multiple chemists who are members of SS.)

Where are you buying it from? Do you have many sources? Because SN shouldn't be this expensive, I got 100g for 5$ in my country. But I understand that if it's banned in your country and you only have limited resources then it can be hard. But I would not rely on pink SN. Everywhere you read about SN it says it's white yellowish and can be clumpy
