What it is

Dried lemon is made from whole lemons or lemon peel that have had most of their water removed. This process concentrates the flavor and extends shelf life. It is used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Why it's used

Dried lemon is used to add a bright, tart flavor to foods. It can be found in baked goods, spice blends, marinades, and beverages. Manufacturers use it as a natural flavoring agent.

Health notes

Dried lemon is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lemon and its derivatives, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in food.

Allergen info

Dried lemon is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
