Lemon

A lemon is a bright yellow citrus fruit known for its vibrant aroma and sharply acidic, refreshing flavor. It has a smooth to slightly textured rind that contains aromatic oils, and inside it holds juicy, pale-yellow segments filled with tangy juice.

Lemons are widely used for their juice, zest, and essential oils. They add brightness to both sweet and savory dishes, and are key ingredients in drinks, marinades, dressings, desserts, and preserves.

Nutritionally, lemons are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and small amounts of fiber (especially in the pulp). Their bold flavor and versatility make them a staple in kitchens around the world.
