What is organic lemon powder?
Organic Lemon Powder is meticulously crafted from 100% pure, organically cultivated whole lemons (including the peel and pulp). After harvesting, the lemons are thoroughly cleaned, gently dried (often via methods like air-drying to preserve nutrient integrity), and then finely milled into a versatile powder. This careful processing ensures the preservation of lemon’s vibrant zest, tangy flavor, and comprehensive nutritional profile, including dietary fiber, Vitamin C, and bioflavonoids.
We also supply Organic Lemon Juice Powder, which is produced by extracting and then carefully drying the pure juice of organic lemons. This process removes much of the insoluble fiber, concentrating the vitamins, organic acids (like citric acid), and antioxidants into a highly soluble and potent form. Both forms of our organic lemon powders provide an excellent way to incorporate the zest and vitality of fresh lemons into your product lines, appealing to consumers seeking natural flavor and bright nutrition.
