Why Organic Potash?

• Potassium Carbonate (Potash) can be obtained by two main methods:

1. Through mining 2. From the ash of agricultural waste ie. Cocoa pod husk• Mined Potash contains approximately 5 parts per million of arsenic

which is toxic and limits applications.• Organic and totally free of arsenic at 99% plus purity which equates

to “pure organic Potash” and is unique to the world. • Organic Potash (as it is called) has no limitation in applications such

as food and pharmaceuticals.
