Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Citric Acid

  • Metabolic Effect: Citric acid gives a sour taste to foods and can be appetizing. However, since it has no nutritional value, it does not provide a direct energy or nutrient contribution to the body.
  • Consumption Suggestion: It can be used as a flavoring in pickles, salads and drinks. It is ideal for adding a different flavor to your meals.
  • Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause discomfort in people with heartburn or sensitivity. It is important to pay attention to the amount.
  • Exercise Equivalent: Since citric acid does not contain calories, there is no amount of energy that needs to be burned with any exercise.
