Recipes Ideas for Whole Lemon Powder

You might already be familiar with the extraordinary health benefits of lemons and lemon juice, but have you ever tried whole lemon powder?

Whole lemon powder is commonly used to aid digestion and help with other common ailments. The easiest way to consume it is by mixing 1/2 teaspoon with a cup of water or adding it to food. However, there are many delicious ways that you can incorporate lemon powder into your cooking for a daily dose of this powerful fruit.

What Makes Lemon Powder So Great

We grow our lemons in the interior valleys of Baja California and freeze-dry them to capture all the juice to recombine it with the ground up seeds, pulp and skin. This mixture is dried in a vacuum chamber and then pulverized into a fine powder. Lemon powder is a great choice for health-conscious consumers because of the following reasons:

• Convenient, non-messy packaging
• Secure, portable container
• Contains nutrients from the fruit, peel, juice, and seeds
• Pleasant and energizing aroma

 

Cooking with Whole Lemon Powder

Many people like the idea of using lemon powder, but aren’t exactly sure what to do with it in the kitchen. If you love the taste of lemonade, then try mixing lemon powder with water instead for a more natural, refreshing flavor with none of the sugars or artificial additives. Since this is a highly-concentrated powder, start with a mixture of just 1/2 teaspoon lemon powder and 8 ounces of water and add more powder to taste.

These are some ways that you can use lemon powder in your favorite recipes:

• Cakes
• Cupcakes (see recipe below)
• Cookies
• Icings
