Lemons - Yen Ben

Details

Grown & Packed by Kaiponi - Gisborne

Known as true lemons, Yen Ben lemons are tremendously tart. This makes them perfect if you want the lemon flavour to stand out as the star of the culinary show.

With smooth and thin skin, the Yen Ben lemon has highly acidic juice and few pips. It is excellent for adding a slice to that fabulous gin and tonic on a hot summer’s day.

Also known as a Lisbon lemon, it originated in Queensland, Australia, in the 1930s. In the mid-1970s, it caught the attention of New Zealand fruit researchers, who planted a large number of trees. 

Lemons are used worldwide for culinary and non-culinary purposes, primarily for their juice and zest. They enhance food flavour and are used so often in cooking that they are almost indispensable.
