Omega Lemon Salt: sour seasoning for tartness in chutneys, pickles, syrups and jams. Single 1 kg pack.
Lemon salt is a sour seasoning used to add sharp tartness to food without adding liquid. Cooks use a small pinch in rasam, chutneys, chaat, pickles and lentil soups, and in homemade jams, syrups and fruit preserves where a bright, tangy edge is wanted. Because it is very sour, measure it carefully and taste before adding more; a little goes a long way. Read the pack label for the exact ingredients before use. Limes, by contrast, owe their sharp sourness to their high natural acid content, which is why lemon salt is used where a citrus-like tang is wanted without juice. Keep the pack tightly sealed, as the crystals can absorb moisture and set hard. In South Indian cooking it can replace tamarind in a hurry.
