Lemonhead” is a popular brand of candy, particularly known for its round, lemon-flavored, and sour-sweet taste. It was first introduced in 1962 by the Ferrara Candy Company, based in the United States.
Lemonhead candies are small, round, and have a hard candy shell with a soft, chewy center. The flavor is a distinctive combination of sweet and tart, replicating the taste of a real lemon in a sugary form. Over the years, the brand has expanded to include other flavors and varieties, such as:
Cherryhead: Featuring a cherry flavor.
Grapehead: With a grape flavor.
Applehead: Offering an apple flavor.
The original Lemonhead candy remains the most popular and recognizable product of the brand. Lemonhead candies are known for their bright yellow packaging and the cartoon lemon character featured on it.
The candy has become a staple in American confectionery and is appreciated by those who enjoy a combination of sour and sweet flavors. It’s often consumed as a standalone snack or used in various creative culinary applications, like decorating cakes and cupcakes, or as an ingredient in homemade candy mixtures.
