🍋 How and where to use

🔸 Preserving and jams: Adding a small amount of citric acid helps to promote the gelling process and enhance the fruity flavour when making jams, marmalades and jellies.
🔸 Flavouring fruit dishes: Use it in fruit salads, compotes or fruit syrups to give them a fresh, slightly tart character.
🔸 Drinks: Great for lemonades, fruit juices or homemade syrups – it adds a pleasant tartness.
🔸 Texture enhancement: It helps with the gelling of fruit, particularly with less acidic varieties.
🔸 Cleaning and maintenance: Outside the kitchen, the powder can also be used as a gentle descaler for kettles or coffee machines (by boiling it with water).

💡 Tip: Start with a small amount (e.g. a pinch per 500 g of fruit) and taste as you go – citric acid has a strong flavour.
