Limestone – चूना

Crude Lime is Simply Calcium Carbonate Derived from Lime Stones => This is Heated to Form Calcium Oxide (Quicklime), which is Pure lime, but we can’t consume it => This is Treated with Plenty of Water, which forms the Final Consumable Form, Calcium Hydroxide, called Limestone – चूना–Paan Chuna.

Limestone (Pickling Lime, Paan Chuna, Chuna Lime, Chuna): Limestone is Calcium Hydroxide, and when consumed (In very Small quantity, not more than a Wheat Grain size) is a Pure Source of Calcium for The Body.
