Jaffa Cakes are now coming in a Yuzu Lemon flavour as the newest addition to the McVitie's collection.
Yuzu was once the "hidden gem of Japanese cuisine", and is a fruit that has exploded in popularity in recent years.
McVitie's have claimed the new flavour is a "must-try for foodies, trendsetters and flavour chasers alike."
Packs have been spotted selling at Tesco, which was shared excitedly to the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group.
Looking freshly stocked, the image was captioned: "OMG New In tesco Jaffa cakes Lemon flavour!!"
The post attracted a significant number of responses, shares and comments from other users.
One shocked member of the group wrote: "Aww didn't see them when I went today, have to look tomorrow.
"Sounds a lovely flavour."
Another added: "Had the hot honey last week those were good next to try this one."
Some were less sure about the new flavour: "Hummmm idk how I feel about these lemon yes but lemon with chocolate humm idk."
SWEET TOOTH 'A tangy twist', cry fans over 85p packs of Jaffa Cakes in a unique flavour
Tesco has the new McVities Yuzu Lemon Jaffa Cakes that went on sale for the first time yesterday for £1.50 per 10 pack.
With a Clubcard, they can be bought for just 95p.
They are described as "Light Sponge Cakes with Dark Crackly Chocolate and a Yuzu and Lemon Flavour Centre".
They have chocolate on the top, sponge cake on the bottom, and a tangy yuzy fruity bit in the middle.
Highlights of the product are stated to be having no hydrogenated vegetable, no artificial colours or flavours, being suitable for vegetarians and "not you average citrus".
Jaffa Cakes' marketing manager, Jessica Woolfrey, said: "Jaffa Cakes have always been a firm favourite, and the Yuzu Lemon flavour taps into a trend that's captured foodie taste buds everywhere.
"Punchy and refreshingly tangy, it's a daring take on the original that is set to surprise and delight Jaffa Cake fans."
This flavour is the second limited-edition variant of the popular British sweet treat to have launched this summer.
In June, McVitie's got on the hot honey trend by rolling out their brand new "swicy" Hot Honey Jaffa Cakes flavour.
The same month, they introduced their first non-fruit flavour since the Jaffa Cake was made in 1927.
It was the new Cola Bottle flavour, which became at various UK supermarkets – including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Iceland and Co-op.

So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever before but you're desperate to eat out with your kids, you'll be pleased to know that you've come to the right place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Mum-of-seven Paris Fury has shared a simple way she saves cash during the school holidays Credit: Instagram 4 So if you want to eat out and not have to spend a fortune, you'll need to listen up to Paris' simple hack Credit: Instagram 4 Paris recently tied the knot to her husband Tyson for the third time Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 4 Despite a weekly paycheck of almost £4,000, she often shares ways to save cash online Credit: instagram/@parisfury1/ Despite her weekly paycheck of £3,800, this mum-of-seven is often on the hunt for ways to pocket pounds. The blonde beauty, who often does her food shopping in Asda, has taken to social media to reveal how she goes out for lunch with her little darlings without breaking the bank. Posting on her Instagram stories, the 35-year-old, who has a down to earth personality and is fiercely loyal, uploaded a sweet snap alongside her three daughters whilst at Yo Sushi. As Paris smiled alongside Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four, alongside the post, the influencer, who recently tied the knot for the third time to retired heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, 37, penned: 'Just for the parents on my gram - kids eat free here when you eat [sushi emoji].' The mother, who is said to have a secret wealth that is nothing to do with the Gypsy King's £100million fortune, then added: 'Good to know in school hols.' Parents looking to save cash when dining out are sure to be overjoyed to know that popular chain Yo Sushi on a mission to 'take the pressure off family weekday dinners and give the kids something to smile about this school holiday.' During the school holiday dates, kids can eat free all day in Yo Sushi restaurants when dining with a full-paying adult. While mums and dads can enjoy sushi and Japanese hot favourites, your little ones can tuck into one of their kiddo bento boxes absolutely free of charge. Foodies should know that there is a minimum spend of £10. Despite lucrative brand deals and Paris' secret private company, Paris Fury LTD, having recorded a yearly profit of almost £200,000, this isn't the first time this mother, who previously described herself as a 'DIY queen,' shared a relatable insight into her life. Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson She may live in a 'golden' £1.7million Morecambe mansion and have a £90,000 designer stash with Chanel handbags in every shade, but much like her most recent Instagram post, it appears that Paris continues to be famous for her down-to-earth attitude and bargain hunting antics. As well as saving cash by ensuring her kids eat out for free, we've also seen the star do her clothes shopping in Primark. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn". Not only this, but she's also proud to have an affordable high street edit with New Look and she's certainly not one to shy away from bargains in B&M. According to Paris, a down-to-earth attitude helps keep her children grounded - and she wants to set a humble example for them. She revealed on the family's Netflix series: 'None of my kids are really the type to say, 'I want this, I want that'. We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something Paris Fury 'Not to sound big-headed, but obviously, if I wanted to go tomorrow and shop out Selfridges' floor, I could do. 'But what am I gonna teach the kids doing that? 'To go and buy five designer handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, diamonds and pearls, what have the kids got to look forward to in life then? 'We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

Chicken Katsu Curry at the Greedy Bear, Newport Market
Hence, I decided to take a trip to Newport Market and see what tongue-sizzling delights were on offer. After noticing that The Greedy Bear had a rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 on Tripadvisor from around 70 reviews, I felt confident this establishment would not disappoint me. The Chicken Katsu Curry was delightful. (Image: Newsquest) And indeed, it didn't. As the old saying goes, 'You eat with your eyes first' and the moment my Chicken Katsu Curry arrived at my table, I knew I was going to be very satisfied. The presentation was gorgeous. It was so colourful and striking that I almost didn't want to ruin it with my fork. The white rice next to the orange carrots, red chills, green salad and brown katsu sauce was simply divine. However, I wasted little time before chowing down on my meal. The first thing I noticed was how piping hot it was, and this heat was accentuated by the chilli's which gave the curry a lovely, spicy kick. Newport Market has a summer vibe. (Image: Newsquest) But I wouldn't say the heat was anything crazy, so even if you're a bit apprehensive when it comes to spicy food, your unlikely to get heartburn. There was a decent amount of chicken, but I wouldn't have complained if there was a tad more. Regardless, the meat was well-cooked and nicely seasoned. As for the rice, this had a pleasant sticky texture which allowed it to mix well with the katsu sauce and the other ingredients. The sauce itself was salty and flavoursome, exactly what you want from a classic Japanese meal. In terms of the atmosphere, Newport Market has got to be one of the coolest, trendiest places to enjoy a meal in the city. There is plenty of seating and the area just screams summer vibes with an on-site bar and a range of other restaurants you can try. I previously tried Mexican food at Bab Haus Mex and The Greedy Bear was just as good. Lastly, my meal cost £12.50 in total which is standard for a sizeable lunch nowadays.
