Lemon is an incredibly versatile citrus fruit loaded with vitamin C. Known for its vibrant, tart flavor and rich, aromatic scent, it can be used to enhance and brighten a wide array of dishes. The lemon fruit has a striking bright yellow color, oval shape and has a textured, slightly pitted exterior. The flesh inside is juicy and high in both citric acid and natural sugars, giving the lemon its characteristic sour yet subtly sweet flavor.
The zesty pulp or juice can be used as a flavoring in beverages, salads, sauces, marinades and desserts, whilst the tangy zest, or grated outer peel, serves as the perfect garnish for both sweet and savory dishes. Lemons are also used in some traditional medicinal remedies and for their refreshing citrus scent in various cleaning and beauty products. In the culinary world, lemons are cherished for their ability to bring balance to the flavors of food and make the overall dish more vibrant and exciting.
