Lemons are oval in shape and light yellow in color with thick, rough
skin. When ripe it has pale yellow pulp, abundant juice and a small
number of seeds. When purchasing, choose smooth-skinned lemons that are
heavy for their size. You should store lemons in the refrigerator, but
remove them prior to juicing. Lemons are rich in many food ingredients, particularly citric acid. Lemons are widely used in medicine due to their citric acid and Vitamin C content. They are highly valued for their juice, which is often used as an accessory food. Lemon juice increases the flavor and improves the taste of various dishes.
