In cooking, citric acid is an excellent ally for adding a tangy touch to your dishes. It pairs particularly well with meats and fish, but can also be used in sauces, marinades, desserts, and drinks. It can be added directly to the preparation or diluted in a little water for easier dispersion.

Our citric acid container is easy to use and measure. Its compact size also makes it very convenient to store, so you can keep it on hand for all your culinary preparations. Furthermore, our citric acid is food-grade, guaranteeing its safety for use in the kitchen.

Beyond cooking, citric acid can also be used to clean and disinfect surfaces, or even to soften water. It is therefore a multi-purpose ingredient that is essential to have at home.

In short, our 100g jar of food-grade citric acid is an essential kitchen product for adding a tangy note to your favorite dishes. It's easy to measure and store, and is food-grade for safe use.

Product information

Just because we're talking about chemistry doesn't mean we can't be delicious! Food-grade citric acid is a multi-functional ingredient in cooking and baking. Naturally derived (often from lemons or sugar fermentation), it's used to enhance flavors , balance acidity , and extend the shelf life of your preparations.

In confectionery, it's essential for adding a burst of flavor to sour candies, gums, jellies, and syrups. But it's also useful for adjusting the pH of jams , promoting pectin setting , and stabilizing egg whites in certain recipes. In short, a must-have to keep on hand, especially if you enjoy (successful) experimentation in the kitchen!

Suggestions for use:
– To add a tangy touch to your homemade candies, gums or fruit pastes
– Add to jams or jellies to optimize setting
– Useful for balancing acidity in fruit ganaches
– Can be used as a mild preservative in homemade syrups
– Also used for sparkling or vinegared drink recipes

Instructions for using citric acid:
- In jam, we are looking for a pH close to 3.1 (3 to 3.2) with an input of 3 g/litre (i.e. 0.3%).
- As an acidity corrector, it provides an acidity that improves the preservation of food (meats, deli meats, prepared dishes) by reducing the spectrum of bacteria likely to grow on it.
- Citric acid also prevents the discoloration of fruits and the browning of canned or stored products after cutting (antioxidant like ascorbic or acetic acid).
