Tru-Orange – Crystallized Orange

Pure, Punchy, Real Orange Flavor in Its Most Convenient Form

Meet Tru-Orange, your new secret weapon for adding bright, authentic citrus flavor anywhere—no zesting, juicing, grating, or sticky hands required. Made from the actual fruited body of oranges and crystallized with citric acid, orange oil, and real orange juice, this ingredient delivers the true essence of orange in a shelf-stable, intensely fragrant form.

This isn’t “orange-flavored sugar.”
This is real orange, concentrated and crystallized into pure citrus magic.

The Flavor Profile: Bright, Tangy, Sweet, Aromatic, and 100% Real

Tru-Orange delivers:

• Fresh-squeezed orange aroma

• Natural sweetness from real orange solids

• A lively citrus tang from citric acid

• Deep orange oil fragrance with a perfumed, almost floral lift

• No artificial anything — just true orange flavor, intensified

A tiny pinch brings the kind of brightness you normally only get from fresh zest.
