About True Lemon
A. True Lemon starts in the grove with fresh lemons selected for their superior flavor. We then cold-press and crystallize the lemons which locks in their flavor at the peak of freshness. Because of this, we believe True Lemon tastes better than any lemon you can find in the store: fresh, frozen or bottled juice.
"Cold-pressed" means that the lemons were pressed without using heat so the optimal flavor would be maintained. "Crystallized" means that the lemon oils and juices that are extracted during the cold-pressing process are then crystallized to capture their taste at the peak of freshness.
True Lemon has the same properties as a fresh lemon because True Lemon is made from fresh lemon juices and oils. True Lemon behaves almost identically to fresh lemon juice when using in water, drinks, beverages and when using in recipes. Our new Juice Mix actually has the same pH of 2.3 as a fresh lemon!
True Lemon's ingredients are the same as found in a lemon: Citric Acid, Lemon Juice, Lemon Oil and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).To view the ingredients of True Lemon, click here

All True products have a shelf life of two years if unopened. Once you open a packet, the shelf life is only a couple of days.

David Schleider, who spent three years creating and perfecting True Lemon, is a chef by training and a long time lemon-lover. However, David found that he was often frustrated with lemons: they are inconsistent in taste, messy to use, spoil easy and inconvenient. And from a chef's point of view, they are labor-intensive and David often wanted the taste of fresh lemons without adding unnecessary liquid.
David believed other people had to be equally frustrated with lemons and he believed he could do what no one else had done up to that point: find a way to duplicate authentic, fresh-squeezed lemon taste but in a crystallized, shelf-stable manner that was convenient to use any time, anywhere. And, after a lot of hard work and long nights, David did just that.
True Lemon is now being used by consumers and foodservice operations alike. In foodservice operations, True Lemon's advantages over fresh lemons are many:
- Provides 100% natural fresh-squeezed taste conveniently
- No labor, waste or mess
- Cost savings over fresh lemons
- Consistent taste
- Consistent pricing
- Always neat and clean for customers
- Shelf-stable
- Easy to use in recipes and for seasoning
