  1. When I want to add acidity to my lemon pie, I crush up a couple of Vitamin C tablets. It gives the lemon a nice sour taste, but it also improves the healthiness of the pie. Who can't use a little extra Vitamin C in their life? A sweet dessert that is also healthy for you.

  2. I'm not sure if anyone thought of WHY we eat in the first place. Yes, taste is something we are looking for, but what happens to nutrients? Talking about taste,. seriously is there anyone at all that thinks citric acid can beat either lemon or vinegar?

  3. I have never used powdered acid in place of what a recipe calls for… Sounds way too confusing to convert recipes for my small family… I have never had a bad experience using real fruit… If I were a professional chef that needs to produce and control alot of larger quantities or repeated recipes, it would make more sense, I guess… 🍋🍈 I love using citrus and watch many cooks on YT or Instagram that do not use powdered acids… Maybe that will change in the future…

  4. Culinary acids are something I keep seeing in traditional cuisines, like 'sour salt' in both Indian and Ashkenazic cooking, and I've gotten intrigued.
    And there are a few others (malic, lactic) I hear make a significant difference. I'm intrigued.
    If I missed a full episode on this I'm gonna hunt it down!
