Dehydrated Lime

Dehydrated lime is commonly used as a flavoring agent and food ingredient in various culinary applications. It adds a bright and zesty citrus flavor to dishes, beverages, and desserts without the need for fresh limes. It can be used in both sweet and savory recipes, including marinades, dressings, sauces, soups, cocktails, and baked goods.

In addition to its culinary uses, dehydrated lime is also utilized in non-food applications such as water treatment, agriculture (as a soil additive), and industrial processes.

Dehydrated lime is prized for its long shelf life and convenience, making it a versatile pantry staple for enhancing the flavor of dishes and beverages year-round.
