What it is
Organic lemon juice is the liquid extracted from organically grown lemons. It is produced by pressing or squeezing the lemons to release their juice, which is then typically filtered to remove pulp and seeds. Organic certification means the lemons were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic lemon juice primarily for its tart flavor and acidity. It can act as a natural preservative by lowering pH, and it also brightens the taste of foods. It is commonly found in beverages, salad dressings, marinades, baked goods, and desserts.
Health notes
Organic lemon juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamin C, an antioxidant. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated citric acid, a component of lemon juice, and set an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming lemon juice in typical amounts found in food.
Allergen info
Lemon juice is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
