Lemonhead Candy

About Lemonhead Candy

Ferrara introduced Lemonhead Candy in 1962 after Nello Ferrara drew inspiration from his newborn son’s lemon-shaped head. Candy makers used the same cold-panning method developed for Red Hots, gradually building layers of sugar and lemon flavor around each piece before adding its sweet-and-sour shell. Lemonhead quickly became one of Ferrara’s most recognizable candies and has remained closely associated with bright citrus flavor for more than 60 years. Ferrara now produces approximately two million Lemonhead pieces each day.

Lemonhead Flavors

We carry Original Lemonhead Candy in bags, theater boxes, jars, full boxes, individually wrapped pieces, bulk quantities, and other package options as they become available. Our collection can also include Chewy Citrus Mix, Chewy Fruit Mix, Lemonhead Ropes, freeze-dried candy, and additional sweet, sour, chewy, or fruit-flavored varieties. Original pieces have a firm candy center surrounded by a layered sweet-and-sour lemon shell, while Lemonhead Ropes combine a soft, tart center with a chewy, citrus-flavored exterior. Freeze-dried varieties provide the familiar lemon flavor with a light, airy crunch. Products shown are what is available now, but that could always change, and likely will.
