Q: How long does it last once it’s been opened?

I keeps freshness a long time because it is powdered and I have never had it go bad ever.

Q: Is this the same (or similar) flavor they put on lime tortilla chips that you can buy at the store?

This tastes extremely similar to real lime. When I make homemade tortilla chips/strips I mix this with a little salt and sprinkle it over the hot chips/strips. I think this has a better & stronger lime flavor than the store bought stuff.

Q: This is confusing- some have sweetener, some are totally natural, etc. The more natural the better! Do they have berry ones?

They do have strawberry, raspberry, and peach lemonades, and black cherry limeade, but no berries on their own as far as I know. The lemonades and limeade are sweetened mainly with Stevia.

Question 1

How much sugar/calrories is actually in this product?  Malodextrin (corn sugar) is the 2nd ingredient, so it must have some - they just round-down.

Accepted Answer

Label says 0g sugar and <1g for total carbs for a serving size of 0.7 grams.  There are about 0.8 g in 1/4 tsp so a serving size is a bit less than that.  With such a small serving size, the sugars would not really be significant. There is an equivalency chart that says 1/2 teaspoon of the True Lime powder = 1 Tablespoon of lime juice.  The equivalency chart does go up to 4 tsp of powder = 1/2 cup of lime juice (and they suggest adding water).  I doubt I would ever use the powder in place of a 1/2 cup need for lime juice.  I like the powder for adding a splash of lime flavor so typically use 1/4 teaspoon or less.  I don't consider the sugars to be an issue since I use this for smaller needs, but if you are using teaspoons of the product, it might bump up to 1 gram of sugar eventually.  I love this product because I get to add lime flavor to dishes that I wouldn't normally do since I don't keep lime juice on hand.  Just added it to some fruit salad and a blueberry pie recently.  Great for chicken too (I also recommend the Lime, Garlic & Cilantro from True Lime for meat dishes).
