Description

Citric acid, food grade (anhydrous) – the sour pantry staple for jam setting, sherbet, bath bombs and naturally descaling kettles, in packs from 500g to 25kg.

Citric acid occurs naturally in citrus fruits, and this food grade anhydrous powder is suitable for consumption as well as household use. In the kitchen it sharpens flavours and helps jams and preserves keep and set; around the home it dissolves limescale and rinses away without odour or residue. Handy substitution: 1/4 tsp of citric acid stands in for 1 tbsp of lemon juice.

Best for

  • Jam and marmalade making – aids setting and preservation
  • Homemade sherbet, sour sweets and salad dressings
  • Bath bombs – one part citric acid to two parts Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
  • Descaling kettles and coffee machines without harsh chemicals

FAQ

Is citric acid natural and safe to eat? Citric acid occurs naturally in citrus fruits, and this product is food grade, so it is suitable for use in food and drink in normal culinary quantities.

What is the difference between food grade and technical grade? Food grade citric acid meets the purity requirements for consumption; technical grade is intended for industrial and cleaning use only and should not be eaten.

How do I descale a kettle with it? Dissolve around two tablespoons per litre of hot water, leave it to work, then rinse thoroughly. It pairs well with Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) for wider household cleaning.
