These pure crystals have either a nice tart taste, or a sour taste, depending on the palate. Being 100% vitamin C, ascorbic acid crystals are the most concentrated form of the vitamin (about 4 grams per level teaspoon). They go well with orange juice, apple juice, and lemonade, but if you're trying to cut corners, you may be using a nickel's worth of juice just to take a penny's worth of our vitamin C. These crystals can be put into a salt shaker and used as a lemon substitute and sprinkled in tea or on fish. Ascorbic acid crystals are also used for maintaining the fresh appearance of fruits and meats and in canning and preserving (1 or 2 grams per jar). Some persons with sensitive stomachs dislike the acidity, while others take a few grams at once to kill heartburn.
