Default Product Review: True Lemon (True Lime)

I recently got a sample pack of each TrueLemon and TrueLime. I liked it
a lot but I didn't want to post here until I found it locally (shipping
is rather expensive, IMHO).

What is it? Basically lemon or lime crystals. It says "add to any
10-16 oz beverage" but I find that one pack in a one liter bottle is
fine. The ingredients in the lime a Citric acid, Lactose, Lime
Juice, Lime Oil, Maltodextrin and Absorbic Acid. As you can see, it has
not color or sweetener. I have been using it just to give my water a
little flavor. Yes, I could squeeze lemon or lime juice right into the
water but the little packets are much easier to store in my desk drawer
at work!

I got a at my local Harris Teeter (next to the Splenda, of all places),
40 packets for $4.

Samples are available at http://www.truelemon.com/

Default Product Review: True Lemon (True Lime)

Thanks for the link. I've been drinking a lot of Lipton's citrus flavored
diet green tea but would probably drink more water at work if I had
something like this to flavor it.

I love this stuff and find I can drink a lot more water using it, or even
plain lemon/lime juice. Since it's messy to carry around lemons and limes
and there's really no room to store them in the fridge at work, these little
packets do the trick. I have not seen them in any stores yet but I've
ordered them online from http://www.minimus.biz/ . I love Minimus! It's
good for people watching portion sizes/calories because you can buy
individual servings of various things. They sell the True Lemon or True
Lime for 9 cents a packet, so for 40 that's $3.60, even cheaper than your
store. If you place a $20 or $25 order (I forget which) shipping is free.

I bring my lunch to work and just placed another order with Minimus
(including more True Lemon/Lime). I ordered a bunch of various condiments,
which are perfect for a lunchbox. No mess, no worry about putting dips or
sauces into yet another little plastic container that you have to carry,
wash & carry back home. Portion size is controlled. You can buy individual
tea bags of all kinds - great for trying out new flavors.

Maltodextrine is a form of sugar.

In the U.S., all commercial maltodextrine, a carbohydrate often used
in commercial baking and confectionary processes, is produced from
cornstarch.

Thanks for the website. I've been hunting some place I could obtain single
serving sizes of peanut butter and they have them. I quit buying peanut
butter by the jar since it's one of those foods I can't quit eating once I
start

Oh please! The packet weighs .7 grams. The malodextrin is the fifth
ingredient. Do you really think that we should all worry about .1 (if
even) gram of malodextrin diluted in a liter of water?
