Ascorbic acid mix (sachet) is a portioned powdered product containing ascorbic acid, the form of vitamin C used in foods and supplements. Depending on the formulation, it may also contain flavourings or sweeteners, so check the ingredient list if you have a particular product in mind. It is commonly taken as a supplement or added to food and drinks.
The taste can be distinctly tart, though added ingredients may make a mix sweeter or flavoured. Stir a sachet into water, or use it in a suitable recipe, following the directions on the packet. The nutrition table lists 100 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, while the product’s main nutritional feature is its high vitamin C content. Diluting it well can soften the sharp taste; it can also be paired with a drink or food you already enjoy.
