FOWLER, CA - When life gives you lemons, break out the fish, and the cake batter, and the cocktail shaker, because these tart offerings are more than just for lemonade. A strong supply of lemons is coming our way as Bee Sweet Citrus is helping retailers meet consumer demand.

“Spring is only a few weeks away, which means there’s no better time to market lemons at the store level than now,” stated Bee Sweet Citrus Director of Communications Monique Mueller. “Because they can be used in a wide array of recipes, they can be marketed by themselves or used as an effective cross-marketing tool for other items.”

Warmer weather is finally coming through as we cap off the first week of March, and consumers are itching to plan seasonal gatherings under the sun. Lemons are a grocery staple for many families and are one of the most versatile citrus varieties out there. Its tangy juice can help elevate the flavor of marinades, mocktails, and numerous beverages, while its zest beautifully complements baked goods and salad dressings.

“Lemons are often sought out for their flavor, but their use isn’t limited to just food and drink,” continued Mueller. “They can also be utilized as décor for beautiful table arrangements, and their juice can be used as an ingredient to all-natural cleaners and DIY beauty products.”

At approximately 20 calories per serving, noted the release, lemons are nutritional powerhouses. They’re an excellent source of vitamin C and are currently being harvested in California’s Central Valley.

Available in both bag and bulk options, you can plan for a seasonal surge with Bee Sweet’s lemons by calling a sales representative.
