Viva Doria 100% Pure Citric Acid is a food-grade, fine-grain citric acid powder in a resealable 5 lb (80 oz) pouch designed to add tartness, preserve, and balance flavors in culinary and beverage applications.
This premium citric acid is a versatile, food-safe powder sourced from Thailand and milled to a fine, white crystalline texture for fast dissolving and consistent results. It’s formulated for cooks, home fermenters, beverage makers, and DIY formulators who need predictable acidity and clean flavor without additives. Packaged in a reclosable stand-up pouch, it’s sized for frequent use while staying fresh between sessions.
How will this citric acid change my recipes?
Citric acid brings a controlled, bright tartness that sharpens sweet, savory, and neutral bases without watering them down. Because it’s highly soluble, it blends quickly into syrups, sauces, dressings, and drinks, giving predictable pH and flavor adjustments. Use it where lemon or vinegar would be used but you need consistent acidity and a neutral aromatic profile.
- Adds tang to sodas, concentrates, and cocktail syrups without altering aroma.
- Sharpens jams, jellies, and canned fruit for better shelf stability.
- Regulates acidity in cheese-making, yogurt cultures, and fermented foods.
- Fine grain dissolves quickly for clear solutions and smooth textures.
Is this product safe and how should I store it?
Viva Doria citric acid is food-grade and intended for culinary and preservation uses; follow batch recipes and measured amounts rather than tasting undiluted powder. Though safe for food use, the label cautions against ingesting large quantities directly. Store the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong odors to keep the crystals free-flowing and effective.
- Keep pouch resealed after each use to prevent clumping.
- Store away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
- Use measured teaspoons or grams—do not consume large scoops raw.
- Childproof storage recommended to avoid accidental ingestion.
What applications outside cooking can I use it for?
Beyond flavoring and preservation, fine citric acid is a useful ingredient for many household and craft projects that require a safe, biodegradable acid. Its purity and solubility make it suitable for cleaning solutions, descaling appliances, pH adjustment in DIY cosmetics, and homemade bath products—when used according to non-medical recipe guidance.
- Descale kettles, coffee machines, and showerheads safely.
- Adjust pH in homemade skincare formulations and bath bombs.
- Use in natural cleaning blends to remove mineral buildup and soap scum.
- Ideal for small-scale craft chemistry and educational experiments.
How much should I expect to use from a 5 lb pouch?
A 5 lb (80 oz) bag supplies a substantial amount for household and small-batch commercial use. Typical doses range from a fraction of a teaspoon for subtle tartness to teaspoons or tablespoons in canning and beverage concentrates; this pouch will last a home cook or hobbyist many months depending on frequency of use.
- Common beverage recipes call for 1/8–1 tsp per serving for light acidity.
- Preserving and canning recipes use measured grams or teaspoons per jar.
- Cleaning or descaling use requires larger quantities diluted in hot water.
- Fine grain makes precise measuring and dissolving straightforward.
Who is this for: Viva Doria 100% Pure Citric Acid is ideal for home cooks, small-batch food producers, beverage artisans, hobby fermenters, and DIY makers who want a reliable, high-purity acidifier. If you need consistent tartness, fast solubility, and a resealable bulk pouch for frequent use—this product provides an economical and clean option without unwanted fillers or fragrances.
