Real Lemon

ReaLemon Lemon Juice was first introduced in Chicago in 1934 by Irving Swartzburg, who squeezed lemons and limes for the hotel trade. His early products were highly perishable and varied in strength and flavour because the lemons themselves were not of uniform flavour or strength. A few years later, Swartzburg discovered that by concentrating the juice of fresh lemons and then adding water, he could produce a bottled lemon juice that was always consistent. He also enhanced his product through a filtration and preservation process. Swartzburg then used the same procedures to create lime juice from concentrate.
