    before silica was commercially available people used to use rice (in salt shakers, to dry electronics…)

    rice contains naturally occurring silica.

    also, silica is the same composition as quartz and opals.

      I mean, I still do this. It’s not like I have a bag of silica in my house. I wouldn’t really put it in my salt shaker either way to be honest.
