Frozen concentrated lemon

Frozen concentrated lemon is a liquid ingredient obtained from fresh lemon juice, from which much of the water is removed to intensify its flavor, and it is preserved through freezing. This concentrate offers the same acidity and characteristic aroma of lemon, but in a more convenient and stable form for storage and use in cooking.

Lemon is native to Southeast Asia and was introduced to the Americas and Europe by explorers and traders several centuries ago. Currently, frozen concentrated lemon is used in the food industry and in home recipes to add a fresh, acidic touch to preparations such as marinades, sauces, dressings, desserts, and beverages.

Among its properties, it stands out for being a natural source of vitamin C and antioxidants, in addition to providing acidity without adding sugar or fats. Thanks to its concentration, it allows for more precise dosing and extends the shelf life of lemon, avoiding waste.

In different Latin American countries, this ingredient may also be known as frozen concentrated lemon juice, frozen lemon pulp, or simply frozen lemon concentrate. Its presentation facilitates its use in recipes that require an intense citrus flavor and practical handling.
