Description

Realemon Lemon Juice is a liquid ingredient extracted from lemons and marketed under the Realemon brand, very popular in recipes for its acidic and fresh flavor. This product offers the convenience of having the characteristic flavor of freshly squeezed lemon, without the need to peel and squeeze the fresh fruit each time.

The lemon is native to Southeast Asia, but its cultivation has spread widely to warm and temperate regions around the world, especially in Latin America and the Mediterranean. Realemon leverages this tradition to offer 100% natural and pasteurized lemon juice, ensuring a safe and practical product for various preparations.

Regarding its properties, Realemon lemon juice is rich in vitamin C and citric acid, providing a potent acidic flavor that enhances and balances both sweet and savory dishes. Furthermore, it contributes to the natural preservation of food and the activation of culinary reactions, such as the breakdown of proteins in marinades.

In Hispanic America, lemon juice may have other names depending on the region: jugo de limón (Mexico, Peru, Colombia), jugo de limón verde (Central America), or simply limón exprimido (freshly squeezed lemon). It is worth noting that in some areas, limón may refer to lime, so the Realemon product, which is based on yellow lemons, is especially valued for dishes that require that particular flavor.

This ingredient is ideal for dressings, beverages, marinades, desserts, and any recipe that needs a fresh and balanced citrus touch.
