Lemon pepper seasoning

Lemon pepper seasoning is an aromatic and refreshing blend that combines the spicy and slightly earthy flavor of pepper with the acidity and freshness of lemon. This seasoning is used to enhance the flavor of various dishes, adding a citrusy touch and a mild spiciness that balances and enhances flavors.

Its origin is linked to the culinary tradition of different regions, especially in Latin America, where citrus and spicy flavors are common in the preparation of meats, fish, seafood, salads, and marinades. The blend can be made with black pepper, white pepper, or even cayenne pepper, combined with dried lemon zest or powdered lemon juice.

Regarding its properties, this seasoning not only adds flavor but also offers benefits such as stimulating digestion (thanks to the pepper) and the vitamin C present in lemon, which helps improve iron absorption and acts as a natural antioxidant.

In different Hispanic American countries, this seasoning can be found under similar names or synonyms such as "citrus pepper blend", "lemon pepper", "pepper with lemon", or "pepper and lemon seasoning", depending on the region and the specific preparation.

Due to its versatility, it is a fundamental ingredient for those looking to add a fresh and vibrant touch to their recipes, ideal for seasoning meats, fish, seafood, roasted vegetables, or salads.
