A new trend on TikTok has emerged where curious foodies are seen eating whole lemons – rind included. This trend originated from a user who discovered snackable lemons produced by an Italian company called Lemon Snack. The company grows small, low-acidic lemons with edible peels that are rich in antioxidants and meant to be eaten whole without the need for peeling. The lemons have gained popularity among users for their unique taste and convenience.
One TikTok user, @lalaleluu, shared a video showcasing her discovery of the snackable lemons at a grocery store in Germany. In the video, she expressed how awesome the snack was and added salt and chili powder for taste. However, due to the difficulty in finding the Lemon Snack lemons, some individuals have resorted to eating regular lemons instead. Another user, @aaashleyk, saw @lalaleluu eating a whole lemon and decided to try it out as well. She sliced the lemon, added honey and Tajin, and found the taste to be good but very sour.
In search of a similar snackable lemon, user @mahakhamidd visited a farmers’ market but could only find a “lemonquat” with a thinner and sweeter rind. She also enjoyed eating the lemon in slices, including the rind. There was also a user who decided not to search for the snackable lemons and instead opted for regular lemons. User @suciia333 shared a video of her cutting regular lemons into thin slices, adding sushi pickle ginger, and enjoying the combination, despite its unusual nature.
Despite the unconventional nature of eating whole lemons, the trend has gained popularity on TikTok with many users expressing their enjoyment of snacking on lemons. Some users shared their experiences of eating regular lemons as snacks and received positive feedback from others in the comments. The trend has sparked a discussion around the edibility of lemon peels and has led to creative combinations of flavors and textures in lemon snacks. Overall, the trend of eating whole lemons as a snack showcases the creativity and adventurous spirit of TikTok users when it comes to trying new foods.
