Lemon
Lemon is a bright yellow citrus fruit prized for its intensely tart juice and fragrant, oil-rich zest. This versatile fruit provides a concentrated source of vitamin C and antioxidant flavonoids, with both its liquid and grated peel being used to enhance flavors in beverages, dressings, and cooked dishes. Despite their acidic taste, lemons produce an alkaline metabolic effect when digested, making them a unique component in pH-conscious diets.
