Saras Citric Acid 100g
Description
Aroma: Sharp, Acidic & Neutral
Flavour: Tangy, Intense & Zesty
Saras Citric Acid is a high-purity kitchen essential used primarily as a powerful acidulant and preservative. Unlike lemon juice, which adds a distinct citrus fruit flavour, this citric acid provides a clean, sharp tartness that brightens dishes without altering the original flavour profile. It is the secret to achieving consistent acidity in everything from traditional Indian preserves to modern confectionery.
- The Secret Pinch: To prevent cloudy syrups or crystallisation in homemade jams and "Chashni" (sugar syrup), add a small pinch of Saras Citric Acid while boiling. It acts as an invertase agent, ensuring your syrups remain clear and liquid even after cooling.
- Culinary Versatility: Beyond its role in balancing sweetness in beverages and sodas, it is indispensable for curdling milk to make fresh Paneer or Chenna. It also acts as a natural meat tenderiser in marinades and can be used to prevent the browning (oxidation) of freshly cut fruits like apples and potatoes.
- Premium Ingredients: Composed of 100% food-grade anhydrous citric acid. It is a concentrated, dry crystalline powder that offers a much longer shelf life and higher potency than liquid citrus extracts.
- Indian Heritage: A staple in Indian pantries for generations, Saras Citric Acid is the go-to ingredient for preparing "Nimbu Pani" concentrates, tangy "Khatta Meetha" snacks, and traditional pickles, ensuring the authentic sour punch required for regional delicacies.
- Storage & Care: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Citric acid is highly hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air; keep the pack tightly sealed to prevent clumping and maintain its free-flowing crystalline texture.
