Amalfi Lemon (Fresh Fruit)

About

Source 

Our Lemons are grown in an animal rescue farm called Aashan at Chakaan, Pune. The seeds of the lemons were originally imported from Italy and planted here about 10-15 yrs ago. Since then the farmer Heena has been growing these lemons and selling them to cover costs of the animal shelter.

How To Use

Amalfi lemons are versatile and can be used in many ways in cooking and baking. Some ways to use Amalfi lemons include:

• Juicing: The juice from Amalfi lemons is commonly used to add flavour to sauces, marinades, drinks, and other dishes.
• Zesting: The skin of Amalfi lemons makes them ideal for zesting, which is the process of removing the fragrant outer layer of the lemon to use as a garnish or in recipes that call for lemon zest.
• Cooking: Amalfi lemon juice and zest can be used in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes, including cakes, tarts, sauces, marinades, and seafood dishes.
• Garnish: A wedge or twist of Amalfi lemon can be used to add a burst of fresh flavour to drinks, such as water, tea, or cocktails.
• Candying: Thin slices of Amalfi lemon peel can be candied in sugar syrup and used as a garnish for desserts or to decorate cakes and cupcakes.
