Lemon Juice

Lemon Juice is the pressed juice of lemons, widely used in cuisines worldwide for its bright, tangy flavor in dressings, marinades, beverages and desserts. It is typically used in small amounts to add acidity and freshness rather than as a bulk ingredient. Nutritionally, Lemon Juice is very low in calories and is a notable source of vitamin C, providing about 38.35mg per 100g; its citric acid also gives it preservative and flavor-enhancing properties and can aid iron absorption from plant foods. Because it’s used sparingly, lemon juice contributes little fat or protein but adds vitamin C and acidity without many calories, making it a useful way to boost flavor and micronutrients in many dishes.
