• Sprouting Aid
• Makes a Great Substitute for Salt
• Versatile Preservative

If you’re into sprouting then you’re already familiar with citric acid, a naturally occurring preservative typically found in citrus fruits such as lemons and limes. Citric acid helps inhibit the formation of mold and other bacterial growth, an all-too-common occurrence when sprouting in a jar due to high temperatures and humidity. Citric acid is also useful for canning vegetables and fruit preserves.

Citric acid is also useful in canning, drying or freezing foods. It can be used to preserve vitamin C content, retard spoilage and prevent discoloration. Use 1 tsp. per quart of water or juice for mosat fruits and vegetables.
