Some of the more official names of white dirt are white clay, kaolin, porcelain clay, china clay, chalk, or the long winded scientific name aluminum silicate hydroxide. Whichever name you choose, it's still white dirt.
There are many uses for this natural product. Kaolin (white dirt) is used medically to treat diarrhea, dysentary, cholera, and is also used in paper making, paint, fiberglass, porcelains and ceramics, china, and toothpaste. Some of the most popular products made with kaolin (white dirt) are Kaopectate, Rolaids, Di-gel, Mylanta, and Maalox.
Some people have actually been known to consume White Dirt regularly and not only like the taste but crave it. It has been said that the taste of white dirt is akin to the fresh way that the ground smells when it's real dry and a little sprinkle of rain falls. Dirt-eating is an ancient tradition that is practiced all over the world and although the demise of the practice has been predicted for many years, it still persists, particularly in rural areas of the South.
"Geophagy" the scholarly term for dirt-eating, is practiced by both blacks and whites but is most commonly associated with black women, particularly during pregnancy. The dirt-eating tradition appears to have been handed down from generation to generation and several years ago it was not uncommon to see women gathered together sharing a pan of dirt.
Due to possible health concerns, we advise against eating dirt. The product that we sell is labeled "Novelty" and the label warns: "Not suggested for human consumption."
