About Lemons

Lemons, originating from Asia, are a citrus fruit prized for their bright flavor and health benefits. Rich in vitamin C, they support immune function and act as an antioxidant to help combat free radicals. Lemons contain small amounts of potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber, promoting heart health and digestion. Their low calorie content makes them a versatile addition to many dishes, from Mediterranean to South Asian cuisine, offering zest and acidity to savory meals, desserts, and beverages. The juice is often used as a natural remedy for hydration and metabolism support, while the peel is packed with protective compounds like flavonoids. However, excess consumption may irritate the stomach or lead to enamel erosion due to their high acidity. Moderation is key to enjoying the nutritional perks of this vibrant fruit.
