Lemon and pepper seasoning

Lemon and Pepper Seasoning is an aromatic and versatile blend commonly used in cooking to enhance the flavor of meats, fish, seafood, salads, and vegetables. This combination stands out for its balance between the citrus freshness of lemon and the spicy, warm touch of pepper, creating a refreshing and slightly spicy flavor that adds depth to dishes.

Origin: Although it does not have a single defined origin, this seasoning is very popular in various Latin American and Mediterranean cuisines, where lemon and pepper are traditionally used to marinate and season ingredients, taking advantage of their preservative properties and their ability to enhance the natural flavor of foods.
