What it is

Lemon juice from lemon puree concentrate is made by concentrating the juice of lemons and then reconstituting it with water. The process removes water to make it more shelf-stable and easier to transport. It is then rehydrated to its original consistency.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add this ingredient to provide a tart, citrusy flavor to foods. It's often used in beverages, candies, baked goods, and salad dressings. It can also act as a natural preservative and help balance sweetness.
