Your New Citrus Obsession

If you’ve yet to experience the lemonade fruit, now’s the perfect time to indulge!

Lemonade fruit has all the invigorating, refreshing flavour of lemon – but here’s the twist: it comes without the intense sourness! Instead, it offers a beautifully balanced taste that’s sweet, tangy, and reminiscent of a cool glass of lemonade. This is thanks to its unique heritage – a cross between a mandarin and a Meyer lemon, creating a fruit that’s zesty yet smooth.

Why You'll Love Lemonade Fruit

If you’ve ever craved the brightness of lemon without the mouth-puckering punch, this fruit is for you. Its flavour evolves as it ripens – the longer you let it sit, the sweeter it becomes. Early on, it’s tangy and perfect for adding zest to dishes, but leave it a little longer, and you’ll be rewarded with a mild, honeyed sweetness that’s as refreshing as summer itself.

What Can You Do With Lemonade Fruit?

Lemonade fruit is incredibly versatile and can be used in many different ways. Whether you’re looking to add a burst of citrus to your meals or enjoy it as a snack, the options are endless. Here are some of our favourite ways to make the most of this special fruit.

Homemade Lemonade: As the name suggests, lemonade fruit is perfect for squeezing into a jug of freshly made lemonade. No added sugar needed – the natural sweetness does all the work.

Citrus Salads: Toss some lemonade fruit segments into a salad for a refreshing pop of flavour. It pairs wonderfully with leafy greens, seafood, or even a summer fruit salad.

Zesty Marinades: The juice from lemonade fruit is ideal for marinades – it tenderises meat and fish while adding a light, citrusy tang without overpowering your dish.

Marmalades & Jams: If you enjoy making your own preserves, lemonade fruit makes for a delicious marmalade with just the right balance of sweet and tart. Perfect for spreading on toast or adding to a cheese board!

Baking & Desserts: Lemonade fruit can take your baking to the next level. Use the zest and juice in cakes, tarts, or sorbets for a refreshing, citrusy twist.

Simply Snack: Of course, you can always peel and eat it like an orange. It’s a perfect, healthy snack with a sweetness that satisfies.
