Assam Lemon, locally known as Nemu Tenga, is a unique citrus fruit native to the northeastern region of India, especially Assam. It is highly prized for its intense aroma, mildly sweet-sour taste, and medicinal value. Unlike regular lemons, Assam Lemon is juicier and more flavorful, making it a staple in Assamese households and Ayurvedic preparations. Farm Ayurveda brings you naturally cultivated Assam Lemons, free from chemicals and packed with nature’s healing properties.
With its immunity-boosting and digestive benefits, Assam Lemon is more than just a kitchen essential—it’s a wellness ingredient. Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds, it supports detoxification and skin health. Whether used in traditional recipes, herbal teas, or wellness tonics, this citrus treasure complements your health journey naturally.
Assam Lemon has deep cultural and culinary roots in the Assamese community. Known in Ayurveda for centuries, it was used in traditional medicine to treat colds, digestion issues, and to enhance appetite. Ancient texts refer to it as a citrus elixir and its cultivation can be traced back to indigenous farming practices of Assam. The unique climatic conditions of the Brahmaputra valley contribute to its distinct flavor and superior quality, making it a sought-after lemon variant across India and beyond.
