Lemonade Fruit (New Zealand)
The Lemony Fruit with a Perfect Orange-Like Sugar-to-Acid Balance
A unique backyard citrus variety that delivers a true lemony flavor profile but pairs it with the perfect sweet-to-sour balance of a delicious orange. Because this variety is not grown commercially or sold on grocery store shelves, planting one in your yard is the only way to experience this remarkable fruit.
My Personal Take: Lemonade is one of my very favorite citrus fruits. I love being able to taste the lemony flavor but with such a mild acidity that I can enjoy it straight. It has a perfect balance between sweet and tart.
The Flavor & Sensory Experience
- Perfect Sugar-to-Acid Balance: Features a distinct sugar-to-acid balance very similar to a sweet, delicious orange, allowing you to eat the segments fresh or drink the juice straight with absolutely no added sugar.
The Backyard Advantage
- Great Juicy Texture: Grown on premium rootstock to ensure high fruit quality with an excellent, juicy interior texture that does not dry out.
