Citrus fruits

Among the lemon plants stand out, among others, the lemons of the Verna cultivar (Citrus limon) on the Citrus Macrophilla graft holder which makes them vigorous, very productive and with a limited number of thorns, and the lemons of the feminello cultivar. The lemons are largely covered by a particular very dense white net that protects the plants from heavy rains, malsecco and insects, while allowing the passage of sunlight. The iodine that comes from the nearby coast, the clear and clear air, as well as the voluntary application - since the 60s - of natural cultivation techniques that have excluded the use of chemical products and preceded by decades the adhesion to the current rules on organic production make the iPucci company an absolutely natural oasis of green. The soil, which is characterized by its compact and strong, fertile and luxuriant tissue, is regularly treated by expert personnel with the latest generation equipment, to ensure the correct drainage of the water and the correct development of the root system. The lemon trees present on the farm are mostly of the “Verna” cultivar which guarantee a long persistence of the fruit on the plant from March / April, the period in which ripening begins, until late summer; the main flowering period is from the end of March to the end of May. The secondary flowering, of limited extent, in midsummer. Our lemons are therefore also placed on the market in the months of June, July and August, when the supply is in sharp decline.

Features: Lemons stand out not only for their aroma and flavor but also, and above all, for the contribution of vitamins of group C; lemon has many antioxidants, lowers and fights cholesterol, is a valid detoxifier; it also promotes the production of collagen which helps coagulation and wound healing. Lemon is rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, magnesium, sodium, vitamin C (about 38 mg per fruit), vitamin A, vitamins of group B, E and J, proteins, sugars (dextrose, fructose and sucrose), carbohydrates and water. Finally, it is also excellent as a disinfectant for food: combined with salads and seafood, it eliminates 92% of the bacteria present.
