ReaLemon 100% Lemon Juice

ReaLemon is a well-known brand of lemon juice concentrate that has been a staple in kitchens since its introduction in 1934. Originally created by Irving Swartzburg in Chicago, the product was designed to provide a consistent, convenient alternative to fresh lemons. Over the decades, the brand became synonymous with citrus concentrates due to its long shelf life and uniform flavor profile.

The manufacturing for ReaLemon distributed in North America is primarily centered in the United States, utilizing processing plants that handle large-scale citrus filtration and bottling. This ensures that the product maintains its 'Natural Strength' standard, which mimics the acidity and flavor of fresh lemon juice through a stabilized concentrate formula.

Today, ReaLemon is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper, a major American beverage conglomerate. The brand transitioned through several owners over the years, including Borden, Inc. and later Cadbury Schweppes, before becoming part of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group (which subsequently merged with Keurig). It remains a leading brand in the shelf-stable juice category.
