Lemon concentrate

Lemon concentrate is a liquid ingredient obtained from the extraction and reduction of fresh lemon juice, which preserves its intense flavor and characteristic aroma in a more concentrated and easy-to-dose form. This concentrate retains the natural acidity of lemon, providing a highly valued citrus note in various culinary preparations.

The lemon, native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in Mediterranean and subtropical regions, is a fundamental fruit in many cuisines around the world. The concentrate facilitates the use of this citrus in recipes ranging from dressings and marinades to desserts and beverages, without the constant need to squeeze fresh lemons.

Regarding its properties, lemon concentrate is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and compounds that help provide freshness and enhance flavors in dishes. Furthermore, its acidity helps to preserve food and balance flavors.

Depending on the country, lemon concentrate may be known by different names in Spanish, such as concentrated lemon juice, lemon extract, or simply citrus concentrate. In some regions of Latin America, it is also known as concentrated lemon or concentrated lemon liquid.

This ingredient is ideal for those seeking the practicality and authentic flavor of lemon in their culinary creations, maintaining the quality and freshness of the citrus in a concentrated, ready-to-use form.
