Where can I buy this?

I am trying to make my pickles a little crunchier.

I have a recipe that recommends one tsp to a gallon of water. Lots of
internet sites say more can be poisonous, is this true?

Yes. You would do better to use Ball Pickle Crisp or just buy some
calcium chloride at the local beer and wine making shop or online. I use
pickle crisp in all my pickles at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon per pint jar
or 1 teaspoon per quart jar. All are very crisp with a distinct snap. Be
sure you get food grade calcium chloride.

I see that Jardin and Ball have come out with Pickle Crisp again, this
time in a jar. You can check around at various stores for it or order
from Amazon.
