Our Premium Quality Sodium Citrate is packaged right here in the USA. Sodium Citrate is the sodium salt of Citric Acid. Like Citric acid, it has a sour taste and like other salts, it also has a salty taste. Hence, this is why it is commonly known as sour salt and is mainly used as an additive, usually as a flavor or as a preservative. It reduces the acidity of foods, so it allows spherification with stongly acidic ingredients. Sodium Citrate is also used as an antioxidant in food as well as a sequestrant. It dissolves easily and acts instantaneously. Customers have had fantastic results using this product in their mac and cheese recipes and cheese sauces - many customers just add 1 teaspoon of sodium citrate per 8 ounce of shredded cheese.
