Ultrafine Beverage Grade

S tier

Ultrafine beverage-grade calcium carbonate is milled or precipitated so small that it stays suspended in a plant milk or juice without a chalky scrape on the teeth. This is the grade behind a convincing calcium-fortified oat drink. Surface treatment sometimes helps it wet and stay up. It costs more than flour-fortification PCC. In a dry bread it is wasted finesse. Shake the carton anyway—physics still wins if you overdose. Flavour should be almost nothing; a limestone tang means the wrong cut or too much.
