Buy lemons from Huerta de Pancha’s orchard. They are perfect for use in any recipe that has this citrus fruit in it. From it you will squeeze a delicious lemon juice, perfect for lemonades and all kinds of dressings.

Lemon characteristics

Lemon is one of the best known citrus fruits in Spain, and its cultivation is concentrated in the Mediterranean area, that is to say, the area where our orchard is located.

Lemons from the Huerta de Pancha are characterised by their sour taste typical of this citrus fruit. In addition, they are very fragrant, i.e. with a very peculiar smell that is pleasant.

The peel or rind of the lemon is coloured bright yellow, which is green when not yet ripe. It is widely used for desserts or infusions.

Between the skin and the fruit there is a white layer, which adds bitterness to the fruit, so it is not usually eaten.

The flesh of the lemon has a pale yellow colour and is divided into wedges, which give off a very characteristic taste and smell.

The fruit is commonly consumed freshi.e. it is not usually cooked. However, it can be used as a seasoning in some stews or prepared foods.

Our lemon crops in Malaga

La Axarquía stands out in the cultivation of lemon trees because it is one of the areas with a more tropical climate, and therefore the lemons withstand the temperatures well.

Lemon trees are re-flowering trees, which means that they flower more than once per season.

Our lemon trees have been producing lemons for years and, like every year, they blossom several times a season. Some of our lemon trees may eventually bear fruit. throughout the season.

In La Huerta de Pancha we attach great importance to the care of the lemon trees in order to obtain the greatest amount of fruit in a given time.

In this case, we consider it important to maintain continuous irrigation during the flowering processThe flowers can then bear fruit. The same is true during the pollination, for which we ensure that the flowers are pollinated by our bees.

What we want to achieve with all these processes is to encourage the harvesting of 100% natural lemons, without any artificial processes having been involved in their cultivation.

We pick the lemons by hand, at the moment when we check the level of ripeness of the lemons.. This process is always carried out with a pair of scissors, in order to keep part of the lemon stalk and prevent it from spoiling.

Lemon varieties

There are different varieties of lemonsdepending on the variety of lemon tree grown. These include the following:

The best known is the Verna lemontypical of the Spanish Mediterranean area. It is characterised by its shape and pronounced nipple, as well as its thick rind.

Eureka lemon peel is thinner. Other main characteristics are that it is almost seedless and that its juice is very acidic.

The Lisbon lemon has a very rough skin, and is also one of the most acidic varieties and provides the most juice.

There are also others, such as the Fino lemon or the Interdonato lemon, which have very few seeds.

How you will receive the lemons from Pancha’s Orchard

Our lemons are harvested at their peak. This point, in the case of lemons, coincides with the ripening point. In other words, they are ready to eat once the order arrives at their home (ready to eat). These lemons keep all their flavour and natural freshness as they do not go through cold storage.

For packaging, we use 100% recyclable cardboard boxes and we always try to ensure that they are as well protected as possible to avoid damage during transport. We seek quality for the consumer.

How to preserve lemons

Lemons need to be kept cold, so if we leave them in the fruit bowl at room temperature they will last for about a week. As the days go by, the skin dries out and hardens and shrinks.

To keep them better in the fridge, one trick is to put them in a closed plastic bag. Lemon peel is very porous and allows moisture to escape from the inside, so when stored in a closed plastic bag, this moisture condenses on the plastic and maintains a humid atmosphere that prevents the fruit from drying out.

How to make the most of lemon peel

Lemon peel can be used to flavour broths and soups, or it can be finely chopped and used in stir-fries, sauces and dressings. It can also add a tasty touch to a sponge cake or homemade jam. However, when peeling the fruit, it is important not to take any of the white part, as it is very bitter and can alter the flavour you want to give to the recipe.

Properties of lemons from La Axarquía

Lemon is a very low calorie fruit, which also has a negligible amount of fat.. Its nutritional values include its high content in potassium, and of course, as with other citrus fruits, its high vitamin C content..

Lemons are a fruit that, like other citrus fruits such as oranges or mandarins, are products that have many benefits for the organism.. Some of its main benefits are as follows:

Lemons from La Axarquía have a strong antibacterial power, as they can eliminate some bacteria that can cause diseases.. In addition, the continued use of lemon juice can to promote the elimination of toxins and the improvement of digestive processes.

 

In short, if you are looking for a fruit that helps you eliminate toxins and improve your digestion, choose lemons from Huerta de Pancha: straight from the lemon tree to your home!
