What it is
Organic lime concentrate is made from the juice of organic limes that has been reduced to a more concentrated form. This process removes water, intensifying the natural lime flavor and aroma. It is used to provide a strong, authentic lime taste in various food and beverage products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic lime concentrate to add a distinct citrus flavor to products like beverages, desserts, and sauces. Its concentrated nature allows for efficient flavoring, making it a popular choice for creating lime-flavored items without using large volumes of fresh lime juice.
Health notes
Organic lime concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is a natural source of vitamin C and other antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar citrus extracts, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It is derived from limes, which are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
