1. A composition comprising choline chloride and about 0.2% to about 6% by weight of the composition of calcium chloride, wherein the composition does not perform moisture caking during storage in closed packing under ambient temperature fluctuations, and wherein the composition is characterized by a dynamic avalanche test resulting in one or more of the following parameter results:
(a) break energy lower than 170 kJ/kg,
(6) absolute break energy (ABS) lower than 300 kJ/kg,
(c) an avalanche angle lower than 50°,
(d) broadness of break energy distribution, defined as standard deviation over repeated avalanches, of <50% of the parameter value, or
(e) broadness of break energy ABS distribution, defined as standard deviation over repeated avalanches, of <20% of the parameter value.
