Cooking with Lemon Extract

What is Lemon Extract?

Lemon Extract is just one of many pure extracts you can use to enhance your recipes. Extracts are concentrated flavoring agents that have been distilled from beans, nut oils, fruits, and spices that have been dissolved in an alcohol base. Our pure extracts can be used to add flavor to candy, beverages, specialty dishes, baked goods, and desserts.

In order to get the best flavor possible from extracts, it's important to remember the following storage tips:

• Close the bottle tightly after each use.
• Store your extracts in a cool, dark place.

These simple steps will help prevent evaporation so that you can ensure that your extracts provide sensational flavor each and every time you use them.

What Does Lemon Extract Taste Like? How can I use it?

Lemon extract has a splendidly strong lemon flavor without the acidic taste typical of lemon zest or lemon juice. Most often used in baking, our lemon extract puts rich lemon flavor just ⅛ teaspoon away. The lemon flavor in this extract comes from distilled lemon oil pressed from the skin of lemons. The wonderful thing about this extract is that you can use it anywhere without worrying that lemon acid might damage your recipes or upset stomaches. Our pure lemon extract is also terpenless to ensure the best flavor possible!

Try our lemon extract in your cakes, frostings, glazes, lemon meringue pie, cheesecakes, cookies, and custards. You can also use it in sherbet, with fresh fruit, and in fish and poultry marinades.
