Lemons

Lemons

The Basics

Lemons are a citrus fruit with a distinctive sour taste that makes them a great addition to a variety of foods and drinks.

Storage Tips

Keep lemons and limes in the refrigerator.

Nutrition

Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C - the juice of one lemon contains about a third of the daily recommended value. Lemons also contain vital phytochemicals like flavonoids, carotenoids, and polyphenols, which may inhibit inflammation and tumor growth. (Read more about phytochemicals and cancer from the American Institute of Cancer Research and see more nutrtion facts on Self.com.)
