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: Game-Changer for Smooth, Process-Free Cheese Sauces! - If you love making creamy cheese sauces but hate that processed cheese taste, Pure Sodium Citrate is a total game-changer! I started using it to make my cheese sauces, and the results are amazing—smooth, perfectly melted cheese that won't harden up without sacrificing the real flavor of my favorite cheeses. Just a small amount of Sodium Citrate lets you turn any cheese into a silky, melt-in-your-mouth sauce. It gives you all the gooey texture without that artificial taste you get with store-bought options like processed cheese. I’ve used it with sharp cheddar, Gouda, and even blue cheese, and it works like magic every time! I get asked a lot, How do you get your mac and cheese to stay velvety smooth the whole time? The best part is you get to control the flavor. No more settling for pre-made metallic salty cheese products—you can use the real, high-quality cheeses you love and still get that perfectly smooth texture. Whether you’re making mac and cheese, nacho sauce, or fondue, Sodium Citrate is a must-have ingredient in your kitchen. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves cheese but wants a more gourmet experience without having to adding the process chesse vibes! ## Features - 100% Food Grade (beware cheap industrial grade products not meant for human consumption) - Excellent emulsifier for melted cheese (prevents separation and oily consistency) - Use as a pH buffer or sequestrant for Spherification of liquids - ✡ Highest Quality Assured by Strict Orthodox Union Certification Standards - Perfect for Molecular Gastronomy and Modernist Cooking applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BLPNMYY | | Age Range Description | All ages | | Best Sellers Rank | #49,201 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #25 in Salt Substitutes | | Brand | Modernist Pantry | | Brand Name | Modernist Pantry | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,225 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegan | | Flavor | Sour | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Weight | 0.42 kg | | Item Weight | 400 g | | Manufacturer | Modernist Pantry LLC | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 14 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | GMO Free | | UPC | 819543011035 | | Unit Count | 14 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Modernist Pantry - **Item Form:** Powder - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Specialty:** GMO Free - **Unit Count:** 14 ounce ## Images ![Pure Sodium Citrate ⊘ Non-GMO Gluten-Free Vegan OU Kosher Certified (Molecular Gastronomy) - 400g/14oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rxF2+3TWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMG - makes the best nacho cheese or mac-n-cheese on the planet *by V***R on January 18, 2015* This stuff is AWESOME and works exactly the way you'd hope, turning ANY cheese into ooey, gooey, creamy cheese sauce.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pure Sodium Citrate ⊘ Non-GMO Gluten-Free Vegan OU Kosher Certified (Molecular Gastronomy) - 400g/14oz - Pure Sodium Alginate (Molecular Gastronomy) ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 50g/2oz - Pure Calcium Chloride ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 50g/2oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3561532-pure-sodium-citrate-non-gmo-gluten-free-vegan-ou-kosher](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3561532-pure-sodium-citrate-non-gmo-gluten-free-vegan-ou-kosher) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
