About Lemons, raw, without peel
The lemon is the bright, sour citrus that few people eat whole but almost everyone cooks with. Its juice and zest sharpen and lift food the way salt does — a squeeze over fish, a twist in a drink, the backbone of countless dressings, cakes and curds.
Because it's so sour it's used in small amounts, but lemon is genuinely rich in vitamin C, with some potassium and a range of beneficial plant compounds. The fragrant oils in the zest carry much of its character and antioxidants.
Whole-lemon nutrition is a little academic — what matters is that a little juice or zest brings a lot of flavor and a useful dose of vitamin C for almost no calories. A staple worth always having in the kitchen.
