Lemon slices are thinly cut portions of the bright yellow citrus fruit native to South Asia but widely used in cuisines around the world, including Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes. Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and small amounts of potassium, lemons offer a refreshing boost to immunity and aid in digestion. Their tangy acidity makes them popular for garnishing drinks, flavoring salads, and enhancing cooked dishes without adding extra calories. While naturally low in calories, sugars, and fats, excessive consumption of lemon juice or slices may affect dental health due to the fruit's high acidity, potentially eroding tooth enamel. Lemons also contain plant compounds like flavonoids, which may promote heart health and reduce inflammation. Their versatility and powerful nutritional profile make them an essential addition to a healthy diet in moderation.
