Lemon

Lemon (Citrus limon) is a small, oval-shaped citrus fruit belonging to the Rutaceae family. It has a bright yellow, smooth to slightly textured peel, with an intensely aromatic oil-rich zest. The flesh is pale yellow, juicy, and divided into segments, with a distinctly sour taste due to high citric acid content. Lemons may contain a few seeds or be seedless depending on the variety. They are widely valued for their tangy flavor, refreshing aroma, and rich vitamin C content. Lemons are used globally in culinary preparations, beverages, preservation, cleaning, cosmetics, and traditional medicine.
