We have been collecting the niter that settles as we filter out syrup and are wondering if there are any good uses for it.
I have read that metal sap buckets might mean the niter collects a lot of lead and would not be good to use in any homeopathic laxative recipes, as that is something I was hoping to make.

I would also like to use the niter as a possible dewormer for our new pigs. Does anyone have advice on how to use niter as a dewormer? Our neighbor who also boils uses diatomaceous earth to filter his syrup and that is also commonly used as a dewormer, so we were thinking of using the whole mixture of diatomaceous earth and niter as a possible deworming formula. Would lead in the niter be a bad idea to give pigs? Does anyone have any advice on using niter as a dewormer?
