A pack of Sicilian Lemons, exclusively first choice , ideal for limoncello, limoncello creams, jams or for preparing the famous Sicilian granita and much more!
The flowering lasts at least two months and the ripe fruit can then wait another two months on the tree before being picked.
Having a sour taste, lemon juice is mostly used to flavor many foods: from fish to seafood, from salads to fruit desserts, to prepare ice cream (like the famous Sicilian granita), jellies and fresh drinks.
Just one lemon contains 35% of your daily Vitamin C requirement.
Most likely this fruit has Asian origins, perhaps Indian; it was introduced to the Mediterranean about a thousand years ago by the Arabs.
Currently Sicily is one of the regions that produces the most; thanks to the favorable climate of our beloved Sicily the Lemon can flower three times a year .
