What is Lemon Aspen?
Lemon aspen (Acronychia acidula) is a citrus fruit that is native to the rainforests of Australia. It is a small, round, green fruit that grows on a tree or shrub, and is similar in appearance to a lime or a lemon. The fruit has a distinctively tart and zesty flavor, with a hint of sweetness that sets it apart from other citrus fruits.
Lemon aspen is known for its high levels of antioxidants and vitamin C, making it a popular ingredient in health and wellness products. It is also commonly used in cooking and baking, particularly in Australian cuisine, where it is used to add a tangy, citrusy flavor to a variety of dishes.
The lemon aspen tree or shrub can grow up to 10 meters tall and has glossy green leaves. The fruit ripens in the summer months, and when fully mature, it turns from green to yellow. The fruit is typically harvested by hand, and can be used fresh, frozen, or dried for later use. Overall, lemon aspen is a unique and flavorful citrus fruit that has gained popularity for its distinctive taste and health benefits.
