Why Choose Cumin Garlic Preserved Meyer Lemon?

Transform guacamole with one step—just add a spoonful to ripe avocados for a tangy, smooth creaminess.

Cumin Garlic Preserved Lemon is seafood’s loyal companion and a fan of Asian-inspired dishes. It’s perfect with miso and sesame oil and as a rub for fish. Its lower acidity means it doesn’t “cook” seafood, making it a favorite among fishmongers. Rub 1 teaspoon per serving on raw seafood and marinate for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Grown & Made in California

We make Cumin Garlic Preserved Lemon by curing citrus from organic, family-owned California farms with salt, cumin and pickled garlic for up to three years before puréeing into a paste.

Due to the natural curing process, you may notice color variations from yellow to amber. This is normal and does not impact the flavor or quality.

Usage Tips

For a milder flavor, measure with a teaspoon or measure to taste. The longer If & When rests on raw food before cooking, the stronger the flavor and the less you need.

Toast, sandwiches and wraps

Garlic Cumin Lemon Paste

I am a real fan of Ponzu with added goodies for dipping my handheld or chopstick held Asian treat of Sushi, sashimi and rolls. Making it with IF & When's Ponzu recipe, it was way better. It perhaps would also make a great, very tasty light dressing for a tomato and cucumber salad before attacking the sushi.

Chef Don,

We’re thrilled the paste makes for a better ponzu! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with If & When. We love reading in your blog about your culinary adventures at home and away. Thanks for making our preserved lemon paste a part of your kitchen.

I am obsessed with this….

You have made a glorious magical paste that makes what I thought the best avocado toast the most phenomenal AV Toast I’ve ever made. I’m hooked.

Music to our ears! Thank you for taking the time to write a review. You've made this holiday weekend extra special for If & When. We hope our Preserved Meyer Lemon has done the same for you!
