EcoCure #1 is The Sausage Maker's all-natural curing blend, designed as a natural substitute for Instacure #1 or Prague Powder #1. It helps protect meats against harmful bacteria such as C. Botulinum, L. Monocytogenes, and C. Perfringens — without synthetic nitrites. Meats develop a nice red color, minus the taste of celery often associated with vegetable-derived cures. Best used for cures lasting 30 days or less.
