One thing’s for sure--Pure Fun™ Loony Lemon candies will brighten your taste buds!
The lemon is a citrus fruit known for its tangy acidity. Tree-ripened lemons are especially sweet, and are often picked green to allow for more tartness.
This cultivated hybrid has origins in the wild mandarin and citron fruits and has been a presence in various cultures for thousands of years. Though the location of the first lemon-cultivation is uncertain, it seems that lemons first became common in the Mediterranean area.
Lemons served some interesting purposes after making their European debut in the 11th century. Their biting juice reddened the lips of the women of Louis XIV’s court, and lemon juice is in fact still employed as an ingredient in some lip glosses. Additionally, lemons were used (along with limes) by sailors, including those of the British Royal navy, to combat scurvy with their high vitamin C content.
