“I just happen to see True Lime in the store. I bought a box and just love it. You can stick some packets in your purse or wallet to flavor just about anything when you are out. I haven't cooked with it yet, but plan on doing so soon. ”

“Great way to flavor water to get in those fluid ounces! I have used lemon wedges in the past, but this is much easier and portable too. With my order I got a free 40 packet box of True Lime. (True Lemon was offered too.)”

“This is such a good product and not just for weight challenged people. I have always loved using lemon in my water but lemons tend to get bitter on the 4th glass of water. They also go bad before I get them used.
Great for cooking too.”

“I love this stuff. I get more water in during a day using this. It makes such a refreshing drink for me. I liked the samples so much I went out the next day and bought a box of it. I would love to have a sample of the lime to try before I buy it, but if it's anything like the lemon, I will love it as well. I highly recomend this product if you are having trouble getting in the liquids post op. I think it's a nice break from the regular water thing. I'm going to try it when I cook next.”

“I called these folks because my samples didn't arrive (major mail problems where I live) and they immediately sent it again. I tried it on fish and it was terrific. I don't like lemon in water but am planning on trying some lemonade made with it and splenda. It does have a great lemon flavor.”

“I love this product. I can put it in my purse and add it to my water or tea when I go out. Tastes just like it would if you put the liquid in, but much easier to carry around with you. I love water, so I would not say it made me drink more of it, but was nice to have a different taste when I did use it. Will definitely keep this one around.”

“True to it's name "True Lemon" it offers an extreme lemony taste. Due to GERD I normally tend to stay away from products like this because of the acid. I do think that it is a great product for people that need flavor in their water. I myself (b/c of my GERD) would just use it for tea or other recipes that called for a lemon or lime flavor. Product has a real "true" lemon flavor. I think it would worth while for those that really like lemon lime flavor.”

“I didn't really like the True Lemon in just water without adding to it. I used 1 packet and 2 splenda's to get the taste that I like. I know some people like a more lemon or sour taste, I like mine somewhat sweeter. The splenda make it taste fine. I'm going to try it in cooking next. The company was nice enough to send additional ones for my support group to try also, plus additional coupons. They were very helpful and I'll be sure to continue buying this product in the future.”

“True Lemon is great! When I sent for the free sample, I expected only one packet. But they sent me three of them, along with an informational letter which told where I could purchase True Lemon (unfortunately, none of the stores named were anywhere near me). They also included a newsletter with recipes, and three 50-cents-off coupons (too bad I couldn't use them, but it was a nice thought).
The product itself was excellent. I tried one packet with my water and really liked it. I tried the packets in water, iced tea, and tuna salad, and it made everything taste great!
According to the letter, the one grocery store near me will be carrying True Lemon soon. I can't wait to buy some! I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.
I highly recommend True Lemon. It's excellent!”

“True Lemon crystallized lemon substitute tastes just like the real thing. It is in individual packets that can be used to flavor a bottle of water or to sprinkle on seafood. Best thing of all is that it doesn't have any corn product in it and it is real lemon juice and lemon oil. My lemonade tastes just like lemonade. Even when I add Splenda there is no after taste like with crystal light or other sugar free beverages.”
