Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

Is all citric in this collection food grade?

Not necessarily. Some citric products may be food grade, while others may be intended for cosmetic, cleaning, or formulation use only. Always check the wording on the individual product page before use.

Do I need to measure citric ingredients carefully?

Yes, accurate measuring is important. Even small amounts can affect flavour, pH, texture, or how a formulation performs, so it is best not to guess.

Why does citric sometimes clump after opening?

Citric products can absorb moisture from the air, which may cause clumping over time. Keeping the container tightly sealed and stored in a dry place helps keep it easier to use.

Does citric dissolve easily in water?

Many citric ingredients, especially citric acid, dissolve quite well in water. Even so, the way you add it can affect the final result, so it helps to follow the method recommended for your recipe or formulation.

How should I store citric products?

Store them tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage helps prevent clumping and helps maintain product quality.
