Lemon doesn't get eaten dried the way mango or strawberry does — its acidity puts it in a different category of buyer altogether. Most of our dehydrated lemon enquiries come from beverage formulators, tea blenders and pharma/nutraceutical brands building a vitamin-C or digestive-support product, not snack companies.
Two lemon formats, two different jobs
Dehydrated lemon slices are thin rings, air-dried to a light yellow finish — used where the slice itself is visible or steeped (tea, infusion, garnish). Whole dry lemon (bijora) is the entire fruit dried and used intact — a format rooted in traditional and culinary use, where a concentrated, whole dried citrus is pickled, ground or steeped rather than sliced thin.
| Format | Bulk price | Shelf life | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dehydrated lemon slice | ₹700/Kg | 2 years, airtight | Infusion, garnish, tea blending |
| Whole dry lemon (bijora) | ₹400/Kg | Airtight storage | Traditional/culinary use, pickling, grinding |
| Lemon tea cuts | ₹500/Kg | Airtight storage | Fruit-flavoured tea blends |
Where B2B buyers use dehydrated lemon
- Beverage and lemonade premix bases, where dried slices steep for flavour and visual cue
- Fruit tea and herbal infusion blends
- Pharma and nutraceutical formulations built around natural vitamin C and digestive-support claims
- HoReCa garnish and cocktail decoration
- Potpourri and natural home-fragrance products
A note on sweet lime (mosambi) powder
We don't currently mill lemon itself into a powder — but if your formulation needs a milled citrus powder rather than a slice or whole dried fruit, our sweet lime (mosambi) powder is the closest citrus-powder option in the range, milled to a greenish-yellow powder at 100% purity with zero additives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can dehydrated lemon slices be rehydrated for cooking?
Yes, though most B2B buyers use them dry — either steeped directly in hot water/beverage bases, or ground for a pharma/nutraceutical formulation.
What's the difference between lemon slices and whole dry lemon (bijora)?
Slices are thin rings meant for infusion, tea and garnish. Whole dry lemon is the entire fruit, dried intact, used in traditional culinary preparations like pickling or grinding — a different product for a different kitchen use case.
Is any preservative used to hold the yellow colour?
No — our lemon is air-dried at a controlled low temperature with zero additives, colour or preservative.
