Lime Juice Powder, Citrus x latifolia, is a shelf-stable alternative to fresh lime juice. It is also known as lime powder, powdered lime, or powdered lime juice.

Lime Juice Powder is made by spraying lime juice concentrate onto a maltodextrin base, which absorbs the flavor of the lime. When the liquid dries, the infused maltodextrin is left behind, which delivers a powerful taste of lime. 

Lime Juice Powder is popular with: 

• manufacturers of sauces, pitas, salsas, and chips and tortillas;
• Asian/fusion restaurants;
• bar and grills;
• food trucks;
• seasoning companies;
• breweries;
• catering companies; and
• independent spice shops

One teaspoon of Lime Juice Powder is equivalent to the flavor of the juice from half of a lime.

How To Use

Lime Juice Powder is perfect for adding a burst of flavor in sweets like cakes, cookies, scones, glazes, baking mixes, fillings, and icings. It also tastes wonderful in savory chicken, fish, or pork dishes, and adds a bright flavor to marinades, sauces, seasoning blends, and soups. Lime Juice Powder is also great in salad dressings, meat marinades, or even just as a small pinch sprinkled over a salad. Lime tastes very good with almonds, so if you like making roasted almonds you could experiment with using this powder. Combine with a chile powder for a sweet heat kind of mixture. Add in drinks like smoothies or milkshakes for a vibrant boost.
