Lemon bars are a popular dessert featuring a tangy citrus filling on a buttery shortbread crust. Originating from American cuisine, they are a favorite treat in bakeries and home kitchens alike. The filling combines fresh lemon juice, eggs, sugar, and flour, creating a bright, sweet, and zesty layer balanced by the rich, crumbly base. While lemons are a great source of vitamin C, the dessert's high sugar content and use of butter make lemon bars a treat best enjoyed in moderation. They are often garnished with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and visual appeal. Lemon bars are a delightful way to incorporate citrus into desserts but should be balanced with healthier options in one’s diet.
