What it is

100% Lemon Juice is the liquid extracted from lemons, a citrus fruit. It is made by pressing whole lemons to release their juice, which is then typically filtered to remove pulp and seeds. It is commonly used in its natural, unadulterated form.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add 100% Lemon Juice primarily for its tart, acidic flavor, which can enhance or balance other tastes in food products. It also acts as a natural preservative by lowering pH, and can be used to add a fresh, bright note to beverages, baked goods, and desserts.

Health notes

100% Lemon Juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of Vitamin C, an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated citric acid, a primary component of lemon juice, and established acceptable intake levels. While generally considered healthy in moderation, excessive consumption of acidic foods like lemon juice can potentially erode tooth enamel.

Allergen info

100% Lemon Juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
