Lemonhead (candy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article describes the candy. For the band, see The Lemonheads.

Lemonhead is a brand of candy produced by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. Lemonheads are a lemon-shaped, lemon-flavored candy consisting of a sweet coating, soft sour shell, and a hard candy core. Unlike some lemon drops, the core is sweet.

The candy was born out of the same cold panned process as the company's Red Hots in 1962. They are most commonly sold in their standard 1 centimeter size, but are also produced in a single-sale 3 cm version.

Recently, Ferrara Pan brought all of their fruit-flavored candies under a consistent naming function: Lemonheads, Grapeheads (formerly Alexander the Grape), Cherryheads (formerly Cherry Chan/Cherry Clan), Melonheads (formerly Mr. Melon), Appleheads (formerly Johnny Apple Treats) and Orangeheads.
