What it is
Crystallized lemon is made from whole lemons, including the peel and pulp. The fruit is typically processed to remove most of the water and then coated with sugar or a sugar substitute. This process preserves the lemon flavor and allows it to be stored for longer periods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use crystallized lemon primarily to add a concentrated lemon flavor and aroma to foods. It can also contribute a slight sweetness and a chewy texture. It is often found in baked goods like cookies, muffins, and pastries, as well as in sauces and confectionery.
Health notes
Crystallized lemon is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is a source of vitamin C, but the amount can vary depending on the processing. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar lemon-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It is derived from lemons, which are not among the nine major allergens, nor is it typically processed with gluten-containing ingredients.
