So, what is citronsyra?
Citronsyra is a Swedish term for citric acid, a natural and highly versatile food ingredient that's commonly used in cooking, baking, and food preservation. This white, crystalline powder has a tangy, sour taste, and is found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. It's commonly used as a natural preservative and flavor enhancer, and is also used in cosmetics, cleaning products, and pharmaceuticals. Citronsyra is a common ingredient in many types of candy, beverages, and baked goods, as well as in marinades and dressings. It's a popular alternative to vinegar in many recipes, and is often used in place of lemon juice or zest.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
