Lemonhead Candy

Lemonheads are hard candy begins with a tart, sour shell that gradually gives way to a sweet, lemon-flavored core. Introduced in 1962 by the Ferrara Candy Company, offer a distinct multi-layered flavor experience. This iconic candy's origin is quite unique: Salvatore Ferrara, the company's founder, reputedly named it after his grandson, whose newborn head was said to be lemon-shaped. Produced using a "cold panned" process, layers of sugar and flavor are meticulously built around a candy center. Lemon heads are fat-free and made with real lemon juice, providing an authentic citrus tang. Their consistent popularity since the 1960s underscores their enduring appeal as a classic, zesty treat.
