True Citrus products are made from simple and clean ingredients, including citrus juices and oils. See what’s inside and why we use these ingredients.

One of the most popular spices, it is known for having a sharp, pungent aroma and flavor that adds heat and depth to dishes. Black pepper comes from the berries of a pepper plant. We use Non-GMO black peppercorns in True Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend.

Black tea is different from green tea because during the production process the tea leaves are allowed to fully oxidize before they are heat-processed and dried. The black tea found in True Lemon Iced Teas (including Lemon, Raspberry, and Peach) is a premium, Non-GMO tea.

Cilantro is an herb that is related to parsley and there is evidence that it has been used to flavor foods for thousands of years. Today it is commonly used in both Asian and Mexican cooking. The cilantro that is found in True Lime Garlic and Cilantro is Non-GMO.

Cane sugar is made from sugar cane, while conventional white granulated sugar may be made from either cane or sugar beets. We use just one gram of Non-GMO cane sugar to give our low-calorie, sweetened Drink Mixes the perfect flavor.

Citric acid is found in all citrus fruits. However, since there is not enough citrus to produce the amount of citric acid that food manufacturers like us use, our citric acid comes initially from sugar. It is fermented using a Non-GMO enzyme. The citric acid we use mimics the citric acid found in citrus fruits and is not used as an artificial preservative.

We use Non-GMO colors that come from only natural sources including fruits and fruit juices (e.g., grapes), vegetables (e.g., beets) and spices (e.g., turmeric). We do not use carmine.

Garlic is related to onions. Native to Central Asia, garlic has been used for thousands of years and is a common seasoning worldwide. The taste of garlic can range from strong and pungent to nutty. Only Non-GMO garlic is used in our Seasoning Blends.

Ginger is a popular ingredient in cooking, especially in Asian and Indian cuisine. Ginger adds fragrance, depth of flavor and spice to dishes, and also has many health properties. The ginger used in True Orange Ginger Spice Blend is Non-GMO.

Grapefruit juice is from the inside of the grapefruit fruit. Its juice is a cross of the sweetness of an orange and the tartness of a lemon. We use Non-GMO grapefruit juice in True Grapefruit.

Grapefruit oil comes from the peel. The grapefruit oil we use is Non-GMO. True Grapefruit delivers fresh-squeezed grapefruit taste because we use both its juice and the oil.

Lemon juice is from the inside of the lemon fruit. We use Non-GMO lemon juice in our Crystallized Citrus Wedges, Drink Mixes and Seasoning Blends. It adds a tart, acidic, taste that can brighten up beverages and food dishes.

Lemon oil comes from the peel. The lemon oil we use is Non-GMO. True Lemon delivers fresh-squeezed lemon taste because we use both its juice and the oil.

Lime juice is from the inside of the lime fruit. Like lemon juice, its flavor is tart and acidic though lime juice flavor can be subtler. True Lime is the perfect addition to brighten up beverages and food dishes. We use Non-GMO lime juice in True Lime Crystallized Citrus Wedges, Drink Mixes and Seasoning Blends.

Lime oil comes from the peel. The lime oil we use is Non-GMO. True Lime delivers fresh-squeezed lime taste because we use both its juice and the oil.

Malic acid is naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables. The Non-GMO malic acid we use helps contribute a tart taste to our Drink Mixes and Seasoning Blends.

The purpose of maltodextrin in our products is to help our flavor components disperse better when cooking, baking or seasoning. Without it, the consumer will get big hits of lemon oil with pockets of acid instead of a homogenous product throughout. The maltodextrin we use is Non- GMO and is solely derived from corn and is not used as a sweetener. Because of its low use amount, the maltodextrin does not significantly contribute to raising blood sugar.

All of our Non-GMO natural flavors contain ingredients from fruits, herbs or vegetables depending upon the products.

Non-GMO is defined as non-genetically modified organisms. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), are not naturally occurring organisms created in a laboratory using genetic modification/engineering techniques. All True Citrus ingredients come with Non-GMO certification from the manufacturer.

Onions are a bulb vegetable and provide flavor, color and depth to a wide variety of dishes. The onion that is used in True Lemon and True Lime Seasoning Blends is Non-GMO.

Orange juice is from the inside of the orange fruit. It naturally has a citrusy sweet flavor that is the perfect addition to liven up beverages and food dishes. We use Non-GMO orange juice in our True Orange Crystallized Citrus Wedges, Drink Mixes and Seasoning Blends.

Orange oil comes from the peel. The orange oil we use is Non-GMO. True Orange delivers fresh-squeezed orange taste because we use both its juice and the oil.

Stevia is an herb that has been used as a zero-calorie sweetener around the world for hundreds of years. Our stevia is derived from Non-GMO rebiana, the sweetest part of the stevia leaf. This ensures a minimum of 95% purity, which is some of the highest in the industry. Our rebiana is only purchased from reputable companies that do not use chemicals in the extraction or refinement of their stevia—only water based extraction methods, which are safer for both our customers and our environment.

Non-GMO vegetable juice is used to help color our Drink Mixes. We use this instead of using artificial, man-made food colors.
