Lemon, fresh (zest or juice)

Lemon, fresh (zest or juice) is a bright, acidic citrus used worldwide to add freshness to savory dishes, dressings, drinks and desserts — prized for its zest and juice. It adds flavor with very little energy and is a good source of vitamin C at 38.7mg per 100g, which supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant. Nutritionally it contributes minimal fat and protein while boosting micronutrients and flavor; its high vitamin content and refreshing acidity make it a small but valuable addition to many recipes.
