PRODUCT: Volcano Lemon & Lime Juice

Our Tip Of The Day (below) on juicing lemons has reminded us that we’ve never written about the only pre-juiced products we use (when we find ourselves out of fresh citrus): Volcano Lemon Burst and Lime Burst. They live in the produce drawer of our fridge.

Unlike other juices that come in cute plastic squeeze bottles resembling lemons and limes, Volcano juices are not reconstituted juice or made from concentrate. They’re fresh-squeezed juice with a twist.

The company developed a special compartment on top of the squeeze bottle, which contains zest and lemon oil from the peel—the part that never goes into conventional reconstituted lemon juice or concentrate. The lemon oil adds an additional zesty burst of flavor to each squeeze, as well as a fresh aroma. It’s why you’d think it was fresh-squeezed juice.

Volcano Lemon Burst is juiced directly from organic lemon groves near the Mt. Etna volcano in Sicily—a rich agricultural area where the fabulous San Marzano tomatoes grow.

Volcano Lime Burst is made from from exotic limes grown in Mexico and bottled fresh. It has the same compartment on the top of the bottle that squeezes zest and lime oil from lime peel.

The only other thing we can say is: Look for it at your specialty store (or visit DreamFoods.com for more information).

TIP OF THE DAY: Juicy Tip

Double the amount of juice you get from a lemon or lime with these tips:

1. The citrus should be at room temperature.

2. Roll it on the counter, applying firm pressure with your hand.

3. Microwave it for 15 seconds.

Each of these actions releases more juice from the sacs.

Today is Oranges & Lemons Day. Check out the different types of lemons—plus the history of the lemon—in our Lemon Glossary.

And use the search box at the top of the page to find lemon recipes, lemon tips and lemon-flavored foods.
