What is organic lemon powder?
Organic Lemon Powder is made from freeze-dried whole Citrus limon fruits, including zest and pulp, delivering a fiber-rich blend of citrus bioflavonoids and vitamin C. We also supply Organic Lemon Juice Powder, a spray-dried concentrate from cold-pressed lemon juice, offering intense tartness and rapid solubility for beverages and functional foods. Both products capture the zesty essence and immune-boosting power of fresh lemons in shelf-stable formats.
