Not a vegetable but actually a fruit, the lemon pepper grows in Zanzibar and there is an annual Lemon Pepper Festival at harvest time, in August. Locally it is counted an aphrodisiac of considerable power, but many anthropologists aver that this is a tale made up by the local lads so that they can pretend to be in its uncontrollable grip and have their wicked way despite the (probably phony) squeals of protest coming from the lassies. Anyhow, if you make the trip at that time you're sure to have fun. |

Where have you been hiding? Lemon Pepper comes from the lemon pepper tree. Although it was originally cultivated in Asia Minor, Marco Polo brought back some cuttings from the tree to Italy along with the now famous spaghetti plants. About 100 years later there were fields of semolina spaghetti growing throughout the region simultaneously the lemon pepper trees had flourished in the moist climate of the boot and the harvests were growing as was the popularity of the lemon pepper spice. The little lemon pepper berries are usually allowed to ripen and dry right on the tree in the late summer. The tree beaters come along with very long sticks and pieces of cloth which they lay under the branches. They then hit the branches with the sticks so the berries fall off onto the cloth. In the very early years the berries were ground into a fine powder and inhaled into the nose much the same as snuff. They even had very ornate lemon pepper boxes for the powder. Unfortunately the buzz was so great that the powder became addictive. Legend has it that one day an Italian had too much wine and accidentally spilled some of the powder onto a piece of veal, and that was the birth of the use of the powder as a food flavoring agent.

Lemon Pepper is a spice blend of lemon peel, sometimes salt, and pepper. Lemon Peppers, also known as Lemon Drop Peppers are a pepper variety grown in Brazil. They actually have a lemon flavor to them, and they're quite hot. There's also a Lemon King hybrid pepper. kimberly |

This is true, however, the Plant Protection Quarantine division of the
USDA has banned the import of lemon peppers until further notice. This is due to the fact that they can carry a citrus canker, which currently destroys citrus crops in California and Florida. This is not the first ban, but this one is expected to last a long time. Technically, it is still legal to sell them if it can be proven they were imported before May 2002, and if they test negative for the canker. The USDA can seize pretty much whatever they want. Or is it Sichuan Peppercorns? Oh well....

Have you tried Penzey's Florida Seasoned Pepper? It's a citrus pepper (it has orange and lemon) and no salt. Here's the ingredients: Tellicherry black pepper, lemon peel, orange peel, citric acid, garlic, and onion. They do have lemon pepper, which I love, but it does have salt in it.
