Gerald McDonald & Company Lemon Concentrate Natural

Lemon concentrate is made by removing the skin and pips, then juicing the inner flesh of the lemon. This natural juice is then subjected to a heat treatment to remove some of the water content, which results in a concentrated solution that is six times the strength of a regular juice whilst being significantly smaller in volume. This smaller volume makes it much easier and more cost-effective to transport. It can be used in its concentrated form or restored to regular strength by re-adding water at the point of final processing.
