        <content>Does anyone know where I can find citric acid in the Boston area?  I am making bath bombs for the holidays but citric acid can also be used in candy making and canning/preserving.

Or does anyone know of candy making supply stores in the area?

Thanks</content>

      <content>If you can't find any in a food-related store, you might want to try Michael's or AJ Wright's in their candy making or soap making aisles.</content>

      <content>I've seen it at some of the Asian grocery stores in Chinatown. Super 88 in Allston might have it as well. </content>

      <content>I think it's also called "sour salt" and you can find it at the Butcherie and other kosher groceries. </content>

      <content>Also the Armenian stores in Watertown carry it -- I've heard it being called something that sounds like "lemoon dizzy". Good luck!</content>

      <content>If you go to a supermarket check the canning supply area they usually have "Fruit Fresh" which is just a brand name for citric acid.</content>

      <content>Sevan Bakery and the other mid-east markets in Watertown carry it, as do the Russians - Berezka and Bazaar in Brighton. Ask for 'lemon salt' or 'sour salt'.</content>
