Lemon salt 300g

Lemon salt, chemically known as citric acid, naturally occurs in lemons and other citrus fruits. It is typically sold in small white crystals and is used to impart a natural sour flavor to foods. Since it contains the sour taste and aroma of lemons, it is commonly used in cooking.

Unlike regular table salt, lemon salt is not a salt but an acidic compound. It adds a sour taste to dishes rather than a salty one. As a natural preservative, it helps delay the spoilage of foods. Lemon salt has a stronger effect compared to table salt and is frequently used in making jams, pickles, and preserves. Additionally, lemon salt can also be used for cleaning purposes, such as removing water stains.

Lemon salt can be used in the kitchen in various ways. It can be added to salads, sauces, and marinades to give a sour touch to dishes. In pickling, it acts as a natural preservative, and in jams and marmalades, it serves as a flavor balancer. Furthermore, lemon salt is effective for cleaning kettles and teapots; by adding a small amount to hot water and letting it sit, limescale deposits can be dissolved.
