About Lemon curd
Lemon curd is a rich, tangy spread made primarily from lemons, sugar, eggs, and butter. Originating from England, it has grown in popularity worldwide as a versatile condiment used in desserts, pastries, and breakfast dishes. Its velvety texture and sweet citrus punch make it a favorite topping for scones, tarts, and pancakes. While lemon curd provides some nutritional benefits, such as vitamin C from the lemons and protein from the eggs, it is also high in sugar and saturated fat due to the butter content. Portion control is key for enjoying its flavor without overindulging in the less healthy aspects. Typically found in both homemade and store-bought forms, it can be tailored for dietary preferences, including reduced-sugar variants. Lemon curd shines as both a luxurious treat and a source of vibrant citrus flavor to enhance a variety of dishes.
