This 4oz package of pure citric acid powder is derived from non-GMO corn through a natural fermentation process, ensuring the highest quality and purity. In sprouting applications, citric acid helps create the optimal pH environment for seed germination while preventing harmful bacterial growth that can spoil sprout crops. As a natural preservative, it extends the shelf life of foods by preventing oxidation and maintaining freshness without synthetic chemicals. Citric acid is widely used in canning and food preservation, where it helps maintain proper acidity levels and prevents botulism in low-acid foods. Its natural antimicrobial properties make it an excellent cleaning agent for removing mineral deposits, soap scum, and hard water stains. In cooking, it enhances flavors, prevents browning in fruits and vegetables, and can be used to make homemade cleaning solutions. NOW Foods ensures their citric acid meets strict food-grade standards and is free from heavy metals and contaminants. The fine powder dissolves easily in water and can be used in countless applications around the home. This multipurpose ingredient is a must-have for anyone interested in natural food preservation, sprouting, or eco-friendly cleaning solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sprouting: Add 1\/4 teaspoon to 1 quart of rinse water during sprouting process.
