The lemon tree is a small, evergreen tree with oval-shaped, yellow fruit. The fruit is used primarily in cooking and as a culinary ingredient year-round—especially for the juice, peel, and pulp. Lemon juice contains approximately 5% to 6% citric acid, which gives it its sour taste.
Good care ensures the quality and taste of the fruit, which is harvested in late autumn and early winter.
The distinctive lemon is a key ingredient in many dishes around the world.
