Preserved lemons are a staple ingredient in North African and Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Moroccan dishes. Made by curing fresh lemons in a mixture of salt and their own juices, they develop a soft texture and a vibrant, tangy, slightly fermented flavor. Typically used in tagines, dressings, and dips, they lend a unique depth to savory and spicy recipes. Nutritionally, preserved lemons retain many of the vitamins and minerals found in fresh lemons, including Vitamin C and antioxidants, though their high sodium content due to the curing process should be consumed in moderation, especially by those monitoring sodium intake. Beyond their zesty flavor, preserved lemons may help support good digestion and add complexity to healthy meals. A versatile condiment, they bring bold brightness to a wide array of dishes while connecting the flavors of traditional Mediterranean cooking to modern kitchens.
