The Bottom Line

I have to say, unless you really hate (or are allergic to) lime or lemon, this product is for you. True Lemon is my favorite; I put it in everything now (water, tea, even beer when I drink it). True Lime is just as good, though I prefer it on my fruit or chicken instead of in my drinks. It's such a versitale product that the bottom line is "you've got to try it!"

Guide Review - True Lemon/True Lime

True Lemon is simply crystalized lemon and True Lime is crystalized lime. Found in small packets like "sugar packets" and now in shakers as well, these products can be used anywhere you would use lemons or limes. In fact, one of my friends has taken to pouring it into his hand and licking it off as though it were a "pixie stix".

True Lemon or True Lime may be hard to find in your area; however, you can find them on the internet. Of course, you may be surprised to find True Lemon and True Lime in the sweetener section of your local grocery store.

I think everyone should try this product. It costs a little more than the actual fruit when you get down to it, but it also lasts forever. It's a tradeoff, but I think it's worth it. It's a great way to spice up your food and drinks, and it also makes staying hydrated easier than ever. You can get a free sample from True Lemon on their website. Be careful though, you may find yourself addicted before you know it.
