Can I use True Lemon® and True Lime™ in place of fresh lemon and lime in every recipe?

If a recipe calls for a 1/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice, do I have to add water to True Lemon® or True Lime™?

(So, in a recipe that calls for a 1/4 cup of fresh lemon or lime juice, you would add 6 packets of True Lemon® or True Lime™ or ½ teaspoon of the True Lemon® or True Lime™ shaker and a quarter cup of water.)
Does True Lemon® stop browning in fruit like regular lemon does?
Yes, in most instances True Lemon® will slow the oxidation process that causes some produce to brown when exposed to air.

True Lemon® and True Lime™ have an approximate shelf-life of two years if unopened. (So you don’t have to worry about keeping fresh lemons and limes on hand to have fresh lemon and lime taste!)

While I’ve never considered
myself a lemon-lover, I actually use True Lemon® 5
or 6 times a day. Not only do I put it in my water and
iced-tea, I use it when I cook. I sprinkle it on my salads,
on fish, and I make a great lemon marinade for roasted
vegetables! I also put four packets in plain cake batter
when I want to add an extra lemon kick.
