## Description

Sodium Citrate is the sodium salt of Citric Acid. Like Citric acid, it has a sour taste. Like other salts, it also has a salty taste. It is commonly known as sour salt and is mainly used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. It gives club soda both its salty and sour flavors. It reduces the acidity of foods, so it allows spherification with strongly acidic ingredients. Sodium Citrate is also used as an antioxidant in food as well as a sequestrant. It dissolves easily and acts instantaneously. Customers have had fantastic results using this product for their mac and cheese recipes and cheese sauces

Review: Very easy to use dissolves well in warm water.
Review: If you love making creamy cheese sauces but hate that processed cheese taste, Pure Sodium Citrate is a total game-changer! I started using it to make my cheese sauces, and the results are amazing—smooth, perfectly melted cheese that won't harden up without sacrificing the real flavor of my favorite cheeses. Just a small amount of Sodium Citrate lets you turn any cheese into a silky, melt-in-your-mouth sauce. It gives you all the gooey texture without that artificial taste you get with store-bought options like processed cheese. I’ve used it with sharp cheddar, Gouda, and even blue cheese, and it works like magic every time! I get asked a lot, How do you get your mac and cheese to stay velvety smooth the whole time? The best part is you get to control the flavor. No more settling for pre-made metallic salty cheese products—you can use the real, high-quality cheeses you love and still get that perfectly smooth texture. Whether you’re making mac and cheese, nacho sauce, or fondue, Sodium Citrate is a must-have ingredient in your kitchen. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves cheese but wants a more gourmet experience without having to adding the process chesse vibes!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this anhydrous sodium citrate?**
A: This is the dihydrate form. If you look at the nutrition facts on their website they state there is 23.5 g of sodium per 100 g, or 23.5%. Sodium makes 23.45% of the molar weight of the dihydrate form. So that gives us our answer. I needed to know for microbiology reasons too!

**Q: Where is this sourced?**
A: Modernist Pantry Sodium Citrate is made in Canada.

**Q: Is this trisodium citrate or monosodium citrate?**
A: Trisodium citrate

**Q: does the package tell you how much to use?**
A: Yes.  Typically use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp when making queso dip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by H***R on 4 May 2023*

This stuff works great to make creamy, emulsified cheese sauce for nachos and dipping and mac & cheese (though I actually prefer regular roux+cheese sauce for mac & cheese). A bit on the pricey side, but you only use about 1 teaspoon at a time so it lasts a good long while if you buy the larger size. Using this to make cheese sauce is a great way to use up those random blocks of cheese in your fridge that you aren't sure what to do with.
