Potassium nitrate is the chemical and it's renound for taking the lead out of more than one pencil. I've heard some Viet mothers feed it to their teenaged boys here, so it is around...maybe.

Saltpeter is very important to curing meats, it helps preserve the natural color of the meat and allows you to store the meat longer than a week or so.
