About Lemon juice

Lemon juice is the tangy, refreshing liquid extracted from lemons, a citrus fruit originally native to Asia but now widely cultivated across the globe. Renowned in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines, it serves as a staple for marinades, dressings, beverages, and flavor enhancers. Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and citric acid, lemon juice supports immune health, aids digestion, and may improve skin vitality. It’s also low in calories and free of fat, making it a popular choice for health-conscious recipes. However, its high acidity can pose concerns; excessive consumption may irritate the stomach lining or erode dental enamel over time. Lemon juice can also act as a natural preservative due to its acidic nature. Versatile and nutrient-rich, this popular citrus extract balances flavor and functionality, adding a zesty punch to both culinary creations and wellness routines.
