Our Citric Acid (Food Grade) is anhydrous, suitable for consumption and available in 500g, 1kg, 2kg and 3kg pouches plus a 25kg trade size.
How to use it
- Preserving: a pinch lowers the pH of jams and marmalades and helps the set.
- Flavour: adds a sharp citrus tang to sherbet, sour sweets and dressings – 1/4 tsp stands in for 1 tbsp of lemon juice.
- Bath bombs: mix one part citric acid with two parts Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda).
- Descaling: dissolve about two tablespoons per litre of hot water to clear limescale from kettles and coffee machines, then rinse.
Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, away from damp, and it will keep free-flowing and ready for kitchen or household use.
