FOWLER, CA - Who says life giving you lemons is a bad thing? Bee Sweet Citrus is here to tell retailers that the season, and shoppers, should be all about lemons!
“Whether you’re planning a party for the Super Bowl, or meal planning for the Lenten season, lemons are a must-have for a healthy new year,” said Director of Communications Monique Bienvenue. “Packed full of flavor, lemons are a nutritional powerhouse and can lighten meals without compromising flavor.”
The Bee Sweet sales team is reporting a strong supply of lemons to help fuel its consumers’ needs, whether its traditional lemons, such as Eureka and Lisbon varieties, or Meyers.
Both, the company said in a press release, contain about 20 calories per serving and are an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C.
“With spring just around the corner, consumers are looking for healthy ways to add flavor to their meals,” Monique continued. “Lemons are perfect for those looking for flavorful alternatives to boost their nutrition, while indulging in seasonal dishes and snacks.”
Traditional lemons are often used to enhance the flavor of both hot and cold beverages—offer them up with hot tea for the cold or iced tea for parties. Bee Sweet noted they also make a tasty cross-merchandising option for adding to soups, salads, and many seafood dishes.
Not to be outdone, Meyer Lemons can apparently be tagged as your store’s “baking lemon” because they are less acidic than other varieties and can act as a great ingredient for baked goods and desserts.
Bee Sweet Citrus’ Meyer Lemons are available for a limited time, while traditional varieties are available year-round. How’s that for making more than just lemonade?
