DRIED LEMON

Dried lemon is made by carefully drying whole lemons, either naturally under the sun or through controlled drying methods. During this process, the fruit loses moisture and develops a deeper, more concentrated flavour.

Depending on the drying method and lemon variety, dried lemons may appear:

• Dark brown to black
• Light brown
• Golden brown
