Lemon

Lemon is a small evergreen tree in the family Rutaceae, a flowering plant native primarily to Northeast India, South Asia. The ellipsoidal yellow fruit of the tree is used worldwide for culinary and non-culinary purposes, especially for juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. Its pulp and peel are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid and has a pH of 2.2 and therefore has a sour taste. Grown in gardens in warm and temperate climates, 3–5 meters tall, evergreen in summer and winter, blooming with fragrant white flowers, lemon contains vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid.
