Lemon Lime Pepper – Citrus Pepper Seasoning | Bearly Legal | Limited Edition
Lemon Lime Pepper – Zesty Citrus Pepper Seasoning & Rub
When life gives you lemons and limes, add pepper and turn up the flavor!
Bright. Zesty. Peppery. Absolutely irresistible!
Meet Pawpa Flavor Bearly Legal Lemon Lime Pepper, a vibrant citrus pepper seasoning and dry rub that combines the refreshing tang of lemon and lime with bold black pepper, savory garlic and onion.
Unlike ordinary lemon pepper seasonings, our unique blend features crystallized lemon, crystallized lime and dehydrated citrus peels to create layers of bright, tangy flavor.
Black pepper provides a robust, peppery kick, while garlic, onion and a touch of sugar round out the flavor with savory depth and balance.
The result is a delicious combination of zesty citrus, bold pepper and savory goodness that brings new life to everything from chicken wings and grilled shrimp to salmon, vegetables and roasted potatoes.

Why Lemon AND Lime?
Traditional lemon pepper usually relies on lemon and black pepper alone.
Pawpa Bear wanted something more exciting.
By combining lemon and lime, we've created a seasoning with a more layered citrus character.
Lemon brings familiar, bright acidity and a refreshing citrus aroma.
Lime contributes a lively, tangy character that complements seafood, chicken and vegetables.
Black pepper adds bold warmth and a savory finish.
Together with garlic and onion, these flavors create a citrus pepper seasoning that's much more than ordinary lemon pepper.

Air fry for approximately 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, or bake for approximately 35–45 minutes, until crisp and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.

You Spoke. We Listened!
When we first introduced Lemon Lime Pepper, customers loved the bright citrus and pepper flavor.
But because citrus-based ingredients can absorb moisture, some customers experienced clumping and caking.
Rather than changing the flavor you loved, we made one targeted adjustment: adding a small amount of silicon dioxide, an anti-caking ingredient commonly used in dry food products.
That adjustment helps reduce clumping while preserving the signature Lemon Lime Pepper flavor.
Because this addition falls outside the formulation standards of our original Pawpa Flavor line, Lemon Lime Pepper became part of our Bearly Legal collection.
Same incredible flavor. Improved handling. Still unmistakably Pawpa Flavor!
Why Isn't Our Lemon Lime Pepper Bright Yellow?
It's a question we hear from time to time.
Many shoppers associate lemon pepper seasoning with a vivid yellow appearance.
Our answer is simple: We don't add dyes just to make it yellow.
The natural appearance of Lemon Lime Pepper reflects the black pepper, crystallized citrus, garlic, onion and citrus peel that make up the seasoning.
We believe flavor matters more than artificial color.
Layer Your Flavor With Pawpa Flavor
Lemon Lime Pepper delivers incredible flavor on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with other Pawpa Flavor creations.
Add a savory garlic foundation: Start with our OMGarlic Salt before applying a light coating of Lemon Lime Pepper.
Bring a smoky twist: Pair it with our Chipotle Seasoning & BBQ Rub for smoky pepper flavor balanced by bright citrus.
