Preserved Lemons (rinsed or low-sodium)

Preserved Lemons (rinsed or low-sodium) is a preserved, often fermented lemon used as a tangy condiment in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines; its rind-forward flavor is prized in tagines, salads, and marinades. It is low in energy and, when rinsed or made low-sodium, still provides a useful amount of fiber at 3.5g per 100g while concentrating lemon flavor in small amounts. Rinsed or low-sodium preserved lemons keep the bright vitamin C and aromatic compounds of fresh lemon but with a more mellow, savory profile, and they also contribute some antioxidant polyphenols from the rind.
