Lemonhead: The Tangy Classic You Can Find at YEG Exotic!

Lemonhead: The Tangy Classic You Can Find at YEG Exotic!

Since its debut in 1962, Lemonhead has been a beloved candy, delighting taste buds with its distinctive sweet and sour lemon flavour. Crafted by the Ferrara Candy Company, Lemonhead offers a unique confectionery experience that has stood the test of time.

The Origin of Lemonhead

The inception of Lemonhead is as intriguing as its flavour. Nello Ferrara, inspired by his newborn son's lemon-shaped head, created this iconic candy. Utilizing the cold-panning process—a method where sugar and flavours are layered until the desired size is achieved—Ferrara crafted a candy that perfectly balances a sweet outer shell with a tangy core.

The Lemonhead Experience

Each Lemonhead candy is a small, round treat that starts with a sweet, hard candy exterior, leading to a tart, soft shell, and culminating in a hard candy core. This progression of textures and flavours offers a delightful journey for the palate, making it a favourite among candy enthusiasts.

Beyond the Original: Lemonhead Varieties

Over the years, the Lemonhead brand has expanded to include a variety of flavours and forms. From Chewy Lemonheads to Lemonhead Gummies, there's a version to satisfy every candy lover's craving. These innovations ensure that the Lemonhead legacy continues to thrive, appealing to both long-time fans and new generations.
