Niharti Lem-O-Cit 400g
Description
Aroma: Sharp, Citric & Refreshing
Flavour: Intense Tang, Zesty & Clean
Niharti Lem-O-Cit is a high-purity citric acid supplement designed for both culinary and household utility. In the kitchen, it acts as a powerful "sour salt," providing a consistent, sharp acidity that lemon juice often lacks. Because it is highly concentrated, this 400g pack is an economical and long-lasting pantry essential for those who love precision in their tanginess.
-
The Secret Pinch: Use it sparingly! A tiny pinch (about 1/8th of a teaspoon) is equivalent to the juice of a whole lemon. In Indian cooking, it is the secret to getting that crystal-clear, sharp tang in Dhokla or Khaman batters, helping them rise perfectly while providing the signature sour "kick."
-
Culinary Versatility: It is a "must-have" for preserving homemade jams, jellies, and pickles, as it prevents spoilage and fruit browning. It’s also the perfect ingredient for making homemade Elderflower cordial, lemonade, or "Sour Sweets." Beyond food, it can be used to "soften" the flavour of overly sweet syrups or to curdle milk for fresh Paneer or Chenna.
-
Household Hack: Aside from cooking, this is a natural powerhouse for descaling. Use a tablespoon in your kettle or coffee machine with water to strip away limescale effortlessly. It’s a food-safe, chemical-free way to keep your kitchen appliances sparkling.
-
Premium Quality: Niharti ensures a food-grade, fine-crystal consistency that dissolves instantly in both hot and cold liquids. Unlike fresh lemons, Lem-O-Cit provides a "pure" acid profile without the bitter notes of citrus pith or the floral aroma of zest.
-
Storage & Care: Citric acid is highly hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture from the air. To prevent of crystals from turning into a solid block, store it in its original container or a glass jar with a very tight seal. Keep it in a dry cupboard away from the steam of the dishwasher or stove.
