: : I have a rec for a bath product that calls for 8 oz of citric acid. It says that it is available at the grocery store, but I need to know if it is a powder or liquid and in what section it is found. Can someone help? Terri
: ==========================
: [SIHT-rihk]
: A white powder extracted from the juice of citrus and other acidic fruits (such as lemons, limes, pineapples and gooseberries). It's also produced by the FERMENTATION of glucose. Citric acid has a strong, tart taste and is used as a flavoring agent for foods and beverages. Small bottles of crystallized sour salt (also called citric salt ) are often found in the kosher-foods section of supermarkets. Sour salt is used to impart a tart flavor to traditional dishes such as BORSCHT. See also SALT.
