GUIDE & TRADITION

Salt is about grain and use

Fine salt dissolves quickly and is practical for everyday cooking, while larger crystals are better suited to grinders or finishing. Mineral salts can vary in colour and trace-mineral profile, but culinary use still depends mostly on grain size and saltiness.

Sodium bicarbonate in the kitchen

Sodium bicarbonate, commonly called baking soda, is an alkaline leavening and cooking ingredient. It reacts with acidic ingredients in baking and also has other household uses, so food-grade labelling matters.

What 'lemon salt' usually means

In Turkish shops, limon tuzu commonly refers to citric acid crystals rather than salt made from lemons. It is used in preserves, pickles, drinks and recipes where acidity is needed.

Measure functional ingredients carefully

Unlike ordinary spices, bicarbonate and citric acid can noticeably change a recipe’s chemistry. Follow recipe quantities and product directions rather than adding them by taste. For related seasonings or cooking staples, see Turkish Spices & Cooking Ingredients.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Turkish lemon salt?

Limon tuzu generally refers to citric acid crystals used to add acidity in cooking and preserving.

Is sodium bicarbonate the same as baking powder?

No. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate; baking powder contains additional acidic components.

Can Himalayan or crystal salt be used like table salt?

Yes for many culinary uses, but crystal size affects how much fits in a spoon, so season by weight or taste where practical.

Are these products suitable for international shipping?

Dry, sealed pantry ingredients are usually straightforward, subject to destination regulations.
