Nagasaki's Green Lemon: A Seasonal Treat
Starting August 20, 2023, JA Town's online shop, "Mogu Mogu Nagasaki," will be offering a special gem of the season: the Green Lemon from Nagasaki Prefecture. Sourced from the JA Shimabara Unzen area, these lemons are not your typical yellow varieties; they are a mature, vibrant green, ready to be enjoyed during the summer and autumn months.
Unique Characteristics of Green Lemons
The Green Lemons are recognized for their delightful aroma and crisp acidity, providing a refreshing taste that stands out. These lemons thrive in the warm climate of Nagasaki, cultivated in greenhouses that maximize their juicy potential, despite their smaller size. This year's harvest produces lemons at their peak from August through September, ensuring that you can savor their fresh flavor at the very best.
Colloquially regarded as a seasonal delight, these lemons are not only coveted for their taste but also for their quality. Young farmers in the region are committing themselves to cultivating these high-quality, safe, and reliable products, making the Green Lemon a symbol of innovative farming practices and dedication.
