About LEMON SQUARES, LEMON
Meijer Lemon Squares are a bar pastry product sold under the Meijer private label, built in the style of the classic American lemon square dessert featuring a buttery shortbread base topped with a lemon curd layer. The shortbread crust uses granulated cane sugar, enriched bleached wheat flour with ascorbic acid as a dough conditioner, liquid whole egg, vegetable shortening from palm and soybean oils, and margarine from soybean and palm oils with whey powder as a dairy component. The lemon layer is built on lemon juice concentrate, modified food starch, and infused lemon rind made from lemon peel zest, cane sugar, and lemon oil essence. Citric acid and vinegar provide additional tartness. Blackstrap molasses adds trace mineral complexity. Decorating sugar coated in palm oil and cornstarch provides the classic powdered sugar visual finish on the top surface.
Nutritionally, these lemon squares deliver 360 calories per 100 grams with 52 grams of carbohydrates, 16 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein, and no dietary fiber. Allergens include wheat (enriched flour), dairy (whey powder in margarine), and egg (liquid whole egg). Soy is present via soybean oil in the shortening and margarine. The clean use of lemon juice concentrate and infused lemon rind rather than artificial lemon flavor creates a more authentic lemon pastry character. This product belongs to the croissants, sweet rolls, muffins, and other pastries category.
