The candy that started everything. I first tasted a Lemon Bud sitting beside my mother during chemotherapy. Everything else irritated her; her mouth, her stomach, the long difficult hours of treatment. The Lemon Bud dissolved slowly, cool and clean and gentle. It did not fight her. It simply gave her a moment of relief and comfort. That is the warm sun that hits your lemonade stand in the afternoon, the brightness with warmth soaked right in, a hint of tart that never takes over. We kept a supply. In the small quiet rituals of a hard season, the Lemon Buds were there. That is why I bought this company when the factory went dark. That is why these candies are still made exactly as they were in 1924. Natural lemon, real cane sugar, no shortcuts, no substitutes. The Lemon Bud is not a lemon dessert. It is lemon - bright, clean, true to the fruit. -split- Some people are surprised by how real it tastes. I hope you are one of the people who loves that about it. What does Lemon remind you of? We'd love to hear your story — write to us. *Please note we coat the candy in powdered sugar, due to this, color and brightness may vary.
