Asset ID: 125765875 / Andrew Unangst / lemons on wood The lemon is both a small evergreen tree (Citrus × limon , often given as C. limon ) native to Asia, and the tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit . The fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world – primarily for its juice , though the pulp and rind (zest ) are also used, mainly in cooking and baking. Lemon juice is about 5% to 6% (approximately 0.3 M ) citric acid , which gives lemons a sour taste, and a pH of 2–3. Many lemon flavored drinks and foods are available, including lemonade and sherbet lemons , as well as lemon and seasoning salt as a snack. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in many dishes across the world. This page is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic.
