Schnucks Lime Juice From Concentrate
What it is
This is a bottled liquid made from lime juice that has been concentrated. Concentration involves removing water from the fresh juice, which makes it more stable for storage and transport. When you use it, you typically add water back to restore its original consistency and flavor. It offers a convenient way to get the taste of lime without needing fresh fruit.
How people cook with it

To use, you will often reconstitute the concentrate by adding water according to the package directions or your preference. This reconstituted juice can then be used in place of fresh lime juice in recipes. It is excellent for adding a tangy note to marinades, dressings, and sauces. It can also be a key component in baked goods like pies and cookies, or used to balance the sweetness in desserts. For beverages, it's a simple way to add lime flavor to water, teas, or mixed drinks.
