Calamansi Purée (Lemonsito) - 100% Pure Extract

₱ 195

Pure 1 kilo of freshly squeezed green calamansi juice. No sweeteners. Experience the intense, zesty essence of the Philippines with our Calamansi Purée (Lemonsito). Sourced from sun-ripened citrus, this is a 100% pure, cold-pressed extract with zero added sugar, water, or preservatives. It serves as a potent source of Vitamin C and a versatile culinary acidifier that outperforms standard lemon or lime juice.

Our Calamansi Purée captures the complex flavor profile of the Citrofortunella microcarpa—a hybrid of sweet peel and tart pulp. Unlike commercial concentrates, our purée retains the volatile aromatic oils and natural acidity of fresh fruit. It is an essential antioxidant powerhouse for immune support, natural detoxification, and elevating the flavor profile of both savory and sweet dishes.

Chef’s Tips: Maximizing Citric Potency

  • The Ratio: This is a highly concentrated extract. For a standard refreshing beverage, a 1:7 ratio (1 part purée to 7 parts water) is the professional baseline.
  • Savory Brightening: Add a splash to heavy sauces or fatty meats (like pork belly) at the very end of cooking to "cut" the richness with clean acidity.
  • Vitamin Preservation: To maintain maximum Vitamin C integrity, avoid boiling the purée. Mix into warm (not boiling) water or use cold in juices and dressings.

Common Questions

What is the difference between Calamansi and Lemonsito?

They are the same fruit. Calamansi is the common Tagalog name, while Lemonsito is frequently used in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Both refer to the Philippine lime known for its high acidity and aromatic peel.

Is Calamansi Purée better than fresh fruit?

Our purée provides consistency and convenience. It eliminates the labor of squeezing hundreds of small fruits and ensures you get 100% juice without the bitterness that comes from over-squeezing the rind or seeds.

Can I use Calamansi Purée for weight loss?

Calamansi is known to boost metabolism and aid in digestion. When consumed with warm water in the morning, its pectin content and acidity help flush toxins and support a healthy weight management routine.

Easy Calamansi stock in your pantry!
Calamansi can spoil easily even when stocked in the fridge so this is really a good option! I need this for my buffalo wings recipe, fish meals with butter or extra virgin olive oil, and guacamole! Remember gerald also sells avocado halves so that was just a tandem order for me!

refreshing
only needs 1 tbsp and a half for a glass of juice and it's sweet enough, refreshing even because it's all natural. Much much better than powdered juices or those sold ready-made
