FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does dehydrated lime juice powder last?
When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, it can last for 1 to 2 years.
Can I substitute lime juice powder for fresh lime juice?
Yes, generally 1/2 teaspoon of powder mixed with 1 tablespoon of water equals 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
Why has my lime powder turned into a hard block?
This is caused by moisture absorption. It is still safe to use; you can break it up or dissolve it in liquid.
Is lime juice powder as healthy as fresh lime?
It retains most of the Vitamin C and citric acid, but lacks the fresh enzymes and volatile oils found in fresh lime zest and juice.
Can I use this in baking?
Yes, it is excellent for baking as it adds intense flavor without altering the moisture content of the batter.
Is lime juice powder the same as dried black limes (Loomi)?
No, lime juice powder is usually made from spray-drying fresh juice, while Loomi is whole limes boiled in brine and sun-dried until dark.
How do I pick a high-quality lime powder?
Look for a fine, free-flowing texture and a pale off-white to light yellow color. Avoid brands with excessive artificial fillers.
Can I use it in drinks?
Absolutely. It dissolves well in water, tea, and cocktails, providing a consistent tartness.
