## 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: OMG - makes the best nacho cheese or mac-n-cheese on the planet - This stuff is AWESOME and works exactly the way you'd hope, turning ANY cheese into ooey, gooey, creamy cheese sauce. Truly fantastic. If you want more ideas, do an internet search for "Sodium Citrate Will Turn A Block Of Cheese Into The Creamiest Nacho Sauce Ever" and look at the article on Huffington Post - yum! I raved about this on Facebook, and a friend told me he uses it for things like blue cheese... then spreads it out in a cookie sheet, cools it in the fridge, and cuts it into "singles" that he later uses on hamburgers. Yum! You know the salt content has got to be high (per the "sodium" part of the name :) ), and Modernist Pantry says that 100g has 26,670mg of sodium (1111% of US RDA)... and when I asked a question here on desertcart, the extremely-helpful Frederick J. Schillinger said "I just weighed a tablespoon of the stuff to be 16g... so a teaspoon is about 5.3 grams roughly. My scale isn't exactly accurate down to the gram, but that gives you a decent idea of about how much is in a teaspoon. Which means a half teaspoon of the stuff, if you do the math, does work out to be roughly ~700mg of sodium." So there you go - if you add 1/2 tsp to 8 oz of cheese, it's 700 mg of sodium. Enough that you wouldn't want to do this every day, but not enough to give you a heart attack... though the cheese itself might ;)
Review: Take your cooking to the next level - This was my first time using this. It is a fabulous product and very easy to use. My first cooking project was to make Ro*Tel nacho cheese dip / sauce. No more velveeta that turns into gummy paste. I used a blend of freshly grated cheeses. It was smooth and decadent. As it cooled it 100% maintained the fresh made texture. Reheating was a pure delight. No globs, no pasty texture. It was identical to the moment I made it originally. Then I made Mac and cheese and Alfredo sauce. We all know how these break down and well reheating is edible but texture and taste are compromised. NOT ANYMORE!! Perfect texture and no breakdown / separation. The price may seem high for the size, but remember you are only using 1-2 tsp. And bonus there is a QR code to scan with tips and recipes!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How could sodium citrate be GMO?  It's not really an O, as it were.**
A: I came here to say this same thing. I love the idea of using science to make awesome food and stabilize my cheese sauces...but at the same time I despise anti-science and misleading advertising. It'll be a hard pass on this product until they remove their label as "non-gmo".

**Q: Trying to recreate Qdoba 3 cheese queso, this was suggested, if I use this, the recipes call for heavy cream, do I use water instead?**
A: You never know unless you try! I personally dont use water in my cheese sauces ever. I use full fat milk, so heavy cream wouldn't be too far off from that. I would stick with the heavy cream or downgrade it to full fat milk at the most. But water will dilute the creaminess too much for my family's liking.

**Q: What is the nutritional information on this package?**
A: There is no nutritional information on this package however they say  you can visit www.discover.kitchen.magic.com for free resources .  Also, try the distributor  modernist pantry  at www.modernistpantry.com Sodium content? I would like to know as well.

**Q: Where is this sodium citrate made?**
A: Hi Jason, our Sodium Citrate is manufactured in Canada.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent way to make queso with real cheese.
*by C***Z on June 25, 2016*

My wife loves queso. You know...the kind made with fake cheese from a box and the canned tomato and pepper mixture. I hate the stuff, if for no reason other than knowing it is made with "cheese" the consistency of Silly Putty. I recently found a recipe online for a way to make queso from real cheese while still getting the silky smooth texture of the fake stuff using sodium citrate, so I bought this. It works great. The sodium citrate is a bit pricey if you're just looking to make some for a party or something, but the bag is big enough that it will last a very long time. I'm sure there are other applications for it as well, but I don't know what they are yet. A little sodium citrate, some real cheese (I've used gouda, cheddar, monterey jack, pepper jack, and chipotle cheddar with great success), and some water or beer and you get a great cheese sauce/dip. Class up your queso with some sodium citrate.
