Why Choose Our Ascorbic Acid Powder?
-
Natural Food Preservation: Significantly reduces oxidation (browning) in canned fruits, jams, and homemade sauces, extending their shelf life and colour.
-
Prevents Browning: A pinch in fruit salads, sliced apples, or avocado keeps them looking fresh and appetizing.
-
Cheese Making: Used in many recipes to help acidify milk, leading to better curd formation.
-
Baking & DIY Wellness: A small amount can be used to boost the Vitamin C content in smoothies or homemade supplements (always consult a professional for dosing).
-
100% Pure & Food Grade: Contains no fillers, additives, or flow agents. Just pure, potent ascorbic acid.
Culinary & Practical Inspiration: How to Use Ascorbic Acid Powder
Unlock the preserving power of Vitamin C:
-
Home Canning & Jam Making: Add ¼ tsp per cup of fruit to prevent browning and preserve colour in jams, jellies, and canned fruits.
-
Fresh Fruit Prep: Dissolve a pinch in water and toss cut fruit (like apples or pears) to keep them from turning brown.
-
Cheese Making: A key ingredient in many ricotta, mozzarella, and other cheese recipes.
-
Baking: Sometimes used in baking to provide acidity that reacts with baking soda.
-
Antioxidant Boost: Note: Can be used in very small, measured amounts in wellness applications. Always seek professional advice for internal use.
How to Use: For preserving, dissolve the powder in a small amount of water before adding to your recipe. A little goes a very long way.
