Providing Fresh Taste and Convenience in Kitchens Across America

Over 10,000 Retailers Nationwide To Carry True Lemon

BALTIMORE , MD - In just 18 months, more than 27 million packets of True Lemon have made their way into the water bottles, kitchens, recipes and beverages of consumers throughout the country. Launched last year, True Lemon^ is the original crystallized lemon substitute made with 100% all-natural ingredients, and is the only product of its kind on the market.

True Lemon is currently available in 7,000 grocery stores such as Ralph's, Albertsons, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Acme, ShopRite and Food Lion, with additional distribution to a total of more than 10,000 stores by the end of June 2005.

True Lemon can be used anywhere one would use fresh lemon juice and is a great seasoning for salads, meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, as well as a perfect complement to water, tea, and other beverages. In fact, recipes such as Herb Salmon, Mint Couscous, Lemon Smoothie, Confetti Coleslaw, and Mini Cheesecakes - all of which feature True Lemon and are available on the True Lemon^ website - have become favorites of True Lemon devotees. Each packet offers:

Taste : True Lemon's refreshing taste is made from cold-pressing the juiciest parts of the freshest lemons, while capturing their taste and aroma - without the mess or waste.

Convenience and Versatility : Available in handy packets, True Lemon makes it easy to take the taste of fresh lemons anywhere. Also convenient to have at home, it can be added to water, tea, and other drinks/beverages; sprinkled on salads, meats, seafood, vegetables and fruits; and can replace fresh lemon juice in recipes.

Health : Each packet of True Lemon has 0 calories, 0 carbs, and 0 grams of fat per serving, making it a great addition to a balanced diet, any of today's weight loss plans or a diabetes management plan. It contains no sweeteners, preservatives, or sodium and provides 25% of an adult's U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin C. True Lemon is also the equivalent of one free food exchange in the American Diabetes Association's food exchange program which was created in conjunction with the American Dietitians Association.

Value : No more throwing away lemons because they haven't been used in time. A 40-packet box of True Lemon retails for approximately $2.99 and provides the taste equivalent of 12 lemons with an extended shelf-life; making it a cost-effective alternative to fresh lemons and other lemon products.

Enjoyed for its crisp taste and convenience by lemon-lovers, dieters, and people following restricted eating plans alike, True Lemon has been receiving national attention.
