Starwest Botanicals, Citric Acid Fine Granules, 4 oz

Description

Citric Acid is a naturally occurring acid found primarily in several varieties of fruits and vegetables, with citrus fruits such as lemons and limes containing the highest amounts.

• 100% Pure Food Grade
• Processed, packaged, and quality tested in our facility in California, USA

Uses

• Commonly used as a flavoring agent because it has a pleasant citrus flavor that works well in soft drinks
• Used as a food additive because it is an effective organic preservative, and is often used in canning, drying, and freezing.
• An ingredient that chefs use in many dishes, including an emulsifier for ice creams, ripening agents for mozzarella cheese, and much more.
• Citric Acid is also an essential ingredient in making bath fizzies. The reaction between the citric acid and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) result in a delightful effervescence when added to water.
• Many all-natural household cleaners, such as kitchen and bathroom sprays, contain a small percentage of citric acid to help clean hard water stains and kitchen messes. The citrusy smell of the acid is pleasant, so it works well as both a cleaner and a deodorizer.
• Can be useful in cleaning buildup on food contact surfaces, and discouraging the buildup of lime scale.
• Often used to clean and passivate stainless steel and copper stills, and can help dissolve minerals.

About Starwest Botanicals

Starwest Botanicals started as a small retail herb shop in 1975 in Sacramento, California. The company grew rapidly on the strength of our commitment to provide value through a combination of quality products, excellent customer service, and fair prices. In 1979, Starwest built its first herb mill to have better control over the processing of herbs. In 1980, the company began importing herbs from several different countries and supplying manufacturers and wholesalers, while also supporting the fledgling organic herb industry. Today, Starwest Botanicals is one of the largest suppliers of organic herbs in the United States, with 85,000 sq. ft. of modern warehouse and production space and over one million pounds of herbs and spices in stock.
