What is a lemon?
The lemon (Citrus limon) is a yellow citrus fruit that mainly grows in warm, sunny areas around the Mediterranean. Lemons are known for their fresh scent and distinctive tart flavour. The juice in particular is widely used in cooking, for example in dressings, marinades, tea and refreshing drinks.
What lemons contain
Lemons naturally contain various nutrients and plant compounds. These include vitamin C, citric acid and flavonoids, including hesperidin. Citric acid is largely responsible for the distinctive tart flavour. The exact amounts of nutrients differ between fresh lemons and processed lemon juice.
