About this item

Malic acid is a natural fruit acid most commonly found in apples. Our food grade Malic Acid Powder is a natural sour agent and preservative used to add sour flavors to candy or vinegar flavor in potato chips and snack foods.
For wine making, Malic Acid lowers pH a bit less than Tartaric acid and is less sour. Excellent for making acid adjustments in Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Reisling wines when Tartaric acid is not appropriate. You do not want to add malic acid to any wine that will undergo a malolactic fermentation.
Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing of the powder.
Product of the USA
Packaged in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products.

So good, sour/tart, makes for some delicious food!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021

Wow, this makes some great snacks! I got it to make my own salt-n-vinegar almonds and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor is nice and tart, sour, and really adds a kick to your food. Good quality and long "best by" date. It's a fine granulated powder and was easy to turn into a super fine powder (like baby powder) in a mortar and pestle. I mostly just use it as is.

I poked 4 holes in the airtight safety seal to make the container into a "shaker" dispenser. Really is good stuff on nuts, potato chips, candy, and in fruity drinks like lemonade, Kool-Aid, etc. Fun to experiment adding to food too. Just go easy, this packs a serious punch and can make your tongue sore if you eat way too much!

This Stuff is awesome! Try it in a smoothie!

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017

This stuff is awesome! I originally got it to recreate a malic acid challenge with my nephew he showed me on youtube, which is much more fun to watch than it is to do, the sides of my tongue were a little sore after, and make sure to have water or liquid to wash it down if you do try the challenge as it is an acid with a low ph and will do harm to the enamel on your teeth. I'm planning on trying the challenge again but this time after using a miracle berry which changes your taste buds for a short time, I tried it before with friends experimenting with sour candy, lemons, limes and coffee and it was a lot of fun but now I want to try it with malic acid, dark chocolate and whatever else we come up with. Lately I've been using the malic acid on slices of fruit, in smoothies and almost daily in seltzer water to add some flavor, gives the seltzer water an almost lemon or lime like taste which I like. When I ordered it I thought it would be a lifetime supply for me but at the rate its getting used, not just by me, I'll be lucky if it lasts 6 months.

I love this stuff!!!

I go sugar free a lot, and when I want a little extra tart, this stuff does the job. I just added a little to my blueberry slim life green tea, with a little erythritol stevia sweetener, and yum! My purchase was almost a year ago, and I'm not even halfway done with the container. I use it frequently, and a little goes a long ways. One of my favorite sugar-free treats is whole milk Greek yogurt with a few drops of orange or tangerine essential oil, a few packets of erythritol stevia sweetener, a little vanilla extract, and a little malic acid powder. Makes the best dreamsicle flavored yogurt. Sometimes I'll add diced fresh orange chunks or tangerine chunks. I add some salted pistachios, too, and it's a delicious healthy snack. If I'm in the mood, I do get a little crazy and add some whipped cream though, lol. There's just a few creative ideas on how you can use this stuff... Great additive for smoothies and Ice fizzy drinks too.????????

Granulation size changed. Frustrating.

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2022

I bought this product in 2018 and 2021 and have absolutely loved it. I put it in a salt shaker and I could add huge flavor to green apple or watermelon.

Unfortunately the order I received today has way bigger granules than either of my other purchases.

I'm my photo, the 2021 granules are on the right and on the left you can see the granules I received today.

The granules were table salt sized before, and now they are like sea salt.

Did I receive a bad batch? Possibly. I might even order another and see if I have different results.

Just a bit disappointed that these granules are too large to soak into food quickly and are too large to come out my salt shaker.

Makes a great sour mix for cocktails.

Between this malic acid and the citric acid I have been better utilizing my lemons, limes, and oranges to mix a great sour mix for my cocktails.

This is wonderful in pickling and making candies

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

Malic acid is what used to make very tart candies. I also use it to acidify certain kinds of grain, bean and vegetables prior to fermentation to reduce the infection of unwanted bacteria. Its a delicious culinary acid to be sprinkled liberally where required. The container has a nice foil seal which one can puncture with a bamboo skewer to make holes to make the entire container into a great big shaker. It is a wonderful product to have especially if you make tempeh or ferment acidified rice using yeast balls. Furthermore it doesn't take as much product when compared to lactic acid, to protect the food. Malic acid it is more acidic and flows more freely with less cake then the more commonly used lactic acid when used in fermentation and pickling.
