About Lemon juice, canned or bottled
The lemon (Citrus limon) is the bright yellow, intensely sour fruit of a small evergreen citrus tree, used all over the world to add acidity, brightness, and fragrance to food and drink. Its juice is roughly 5 to 6 percent citric acid, the source of that signature pucker, while the fragrant outer rind, or zest, is packed with aromatic oils that perfume everything from cakes and curds to marinades and dressings.
Lemons are a good source of vitamin C and antioxidant flavonoids, yet bring almost no calories. A squeeze lifts seafood, salads, vegetables, and sauces, balances sweetness in desserts, and keeps cut fruit from browning, while the juice is the base of lemonade and a common stand-in for vinegar. Popular varieties include the common Eureka and Lisbon and the sweeter, thin-skinned Meyer lemon, a lemon-orange hybrid.
Choose fruit that feels heavy for its size with firm, glossy skin, a sign it is full of juice, and store lemons in the refrigerator to keep them juicy for weeks.
