What it is
Lemon powder sugar is a blend of dried lemon ingredients, such as lemon juice powder or ground lemon peel, combined with sugar. It is designed to deliver both sweetness and a distinct citrus flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add lemon powder sugar to provide a sweet and tangy lemon taste to various food products. It is frequently used in seasoning mixes, spice rubs, marinades, and sometimes in desserts or beverages to enhance flavor.
Health notes
Both sugar and the lemon components are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The main health consideration for this ingredient relates to its sugar content. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugar and common lemon components, such as citric acid, and found them acceptable for use.
