Citrus Rush can be used in numerous ways to enhance your cooking. It works wonderfully as a finishing touch, simply sprinkled over finished dishes to provide an immediate lift.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and potency of Citrus Rush, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from entering and clumping the seasoning. Proper storage will help preserve its aromatic qualities for future culinary adventures.
