SHL Product: Pure Calamansi Juice (Limau Kasturi)

OK, I admit it.  I love to have a glass of cool calamansi drink but am lazy to squeeze the juices out of the fruits each time.  I want it to be available as and when I want to make a drink;  This product was born out of my desire to have it ready-to-make whenever I want to have a calamansi drink or to add to my tea or to any other drink mix.  This juice is versatile can be used to make drinks as well as other culinary uses.  It is also less expensive than lemon.

The source of these fruits are from the farm so it is organically grown without any chemical pesticide or herbicide use.  The fruits are picked at its prime, when it is loaded with juice and squeezed, straining the seeds.  What is left is pure juice without any dilution hence it is concentrated.  It is a great source for vitamin A and C.  The main acids in this fruit is citric acid and ascorbic acid.

Suggestions for consumption:

1. Calamansi drink made by diluting with water and sweetened with honey, raw sugar or molasses. served either warm or cold
2. Added to your regular tea drink to make a citrus-flapored tea
3. Used in marinating fish
4. Used to flavour "soupy" dishes such as laksa and soups
5. Used to make salad dressings
6. As a natural preservative to cut fresh vegetables and fruits

To help maintain the freshness of cut fruits and vegetables (such as for salads when you are serving them without the dressing at parties), you can toss the cut fruits or vegetables with a 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of the calamansi juice to prevent discolouration of the fruits as well as to retain the freshness.

The pure juice when stored in the refrigerator lasts for 3 months.  You can also turn them into "ice cubes" and store in freezer bags for longer storage.  When you want to use them, just add as many calamansi ice cubes as you like.

In alternative therapy, it is also used to treat coughs and colds, similar to how lemon is used.

All in all, this is a handy juice to have at hand as it can be used in many ways for consumption and provides nutrients to our daily food consumption without pain or undesirable taste :)
