Every once in a while, a simple ingredient reshapes how we cook, clean, and care for our bodies.

At Grape Tree, our high-quality Citric Acid (125 g) offers a lightweight, clean, and versatile solution for transforming ordinary tasks into exceptional results.
What Is Citric Acid — And Why You Should Keep It in Your Kitchen
Chemically speaking, citric acid (C₆H₈O₇) is a mild organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons and limes. But don’t be misled by its simplicity—the powdered version available through fermentation is safe, food-grade, and far more powerful than grate of lemon could ever be. It delivers tightly controlled acidity, easily dissolves in both hot and cold water, and is stable on the shelf—making it a smart, multipurpose addition to any home.
Culinary Uses: Elevate Your Cooking with Simple Precision
Brighten Flavour Without Extra Liquid
A pinch of citric acid can intensify citrus flavours in sauces, jams, and dressings—without watering them down. It allows you to unleash sharpness and preserve bright notes in food efficiently.
Perfect Baking Partner
Drop of citric acid adds a lifting reaction with baking soda—think light, airy muffins, pancakes, or cakes. It's a great option when you need tang without tweaking liquid contents.
Preserve Taste and Texture
Citric acid serves as a natural preservative, extending the freshness of homemade preserves, chutneys, and pickles. It helps maintain colour, stabilise sweetness, and fend off spoilage—naturally.
Create Effervescence
Citric acid pairs beautifully with baking soda to create fizzy, festive treats—from fizzy drink capsules to homemade bath bombs.
DIY Cleaning: A Safer, Greener Alternative
Ban Limescale & Mineral Build-up
Citric acid is a gentle yet powerful natural chelator. A 5–10% solution effortlessly removes limescale from kettles, coffee machines, tiles, and faucets—without harsh chemicals.
All-Purpose Sparkle
Mix with water and a squirt of soap to clean glass, stainless steel, and smooth surfaces. It’s a streak-free, residue-free way to brighten your home safely.
Eco-Friendly Descaler
