scirarMexican lemons have reached full production since May 2020. SiCar Farms President Luis Gudino said, “Our Mexican lemon production has availability from July through December. We have over a decade of year round availability producing quality and nutritious lemons. Actually, our lemon production volumes have significantly increased over the past three years and we’ve seen outstanding blooming on our trees which have yielded an abundant harvest.”

SiCar Farms sources lemons primarily from Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico and Colima, Mexico. Food safety and quality is of the highest importance at SiCar Farms.

The company's dedicated food-safety team examines each link of the logistics chain in an effort to streamline the entire process. SiCar’s new facility provides logistical advantages; with such close proximity to the growing region this enables SiCar to have quick logistics of farm to facility. Additional benefits provide less product handling and foremost integrity within the cold chain management. “Our year-round availability guarantees the right quality as well as the proper infrastructure to satisfy our customers’ specifications and needs in an expedient manner,” said Gudino.

Sicar Farms, supplies a variety offerings regarding lemons and limes, for example lemon/lime bag 17/2 pound, lemon bag 17/2 pound, lemon bag 18/2 pound, lemon bag 8/5 pound and lemon bulk 38 pounds. A selection of SKUs are available at retail level.

“We would like to highlight the nutritional benefits of lemons to the industry," said Gudino. "According to WebMD, fresh lemon, the fruit, juice, and peel are used to make medicine. Lemon is used for the common cold and flu, H1N1 (swine) flu, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), Meniere's disease, stomach upset and vomiting from pregnancy, and kidney stones. It is also used to aid digestion, reduce hay fever symptoms, reduce pain and swelling (inflammation), lower blood pressure, improve the function of blood vessels, and increase urination to reduce fluid retention.”
