Lemons are a rich
source of vitamin C, providing 64% of the Daily Value in a 100 g serving. Other
essential nutrients, however, have insignificant content . Lemons contain
numerous phytochemicals, including polyphenols and terpenes. As with other
citrus fruits, they have significant concentrations of citric acid . Lemon
juice, rind, and zest are used in a wide variety of foods and drinks. Lemon
juice is used to make lemonade, soft drinks, and cocktails. It is used in
marinades for fish, where its acid neutralizes amines in fish by converting
them into nonvolatile ammonium salts, and meat, where the acid partially
hydrolyzes tough collagen fibers, tenderizing the meat, but the low pH
denatures the proteins, causing them to dry out when cooked.

Lemon juice is
frequently used in the United Kingdom to add to pancakes, especially on Shrove
Tuesday. Lemon juice is also used as a short-term preservative on certain foods
that tend to oxidize and turn brown after being sliced , such as apples,
bananas, and avocados, where its acid denatures the enzymes. Lemon juice and
rind are used to make
marmalade and lemon liqueur. Lemon slices and lemon rind
are used as a garnish for food and drinks. Lemon zest, the grated outer rind of
the fruit, is used to add flavor to baked goods, puddings, rice, and other
dishes. The leaves of the lemon tree are used to make a tea and for preparing
cooked meats and seafoods. The tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for
culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its
juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The pulp and rind are also
used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric
acid, which gives a sour taste.
The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes
it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue
pie. Lemons entered Europe near southern Italy no later than the first century
AD, during the time of Ancient Rome.
However, they were not widely cultivated. They were later introduced to
Persia and then to Iraq and Egypt around 700 AD. The lemon was first recorded in literature in
a 10th-century Arabic treatise on farming, and was also used as an ornamental
plant in early Islamic gardens.
It was
distributed widely throughout the Arab world and the Mediterranean region
between 1000 and 1150. The first substantial cultivation of lemons in Europe
began in Genoa in the middle of the 15th century. The lemon was later
introduced to the Americas in 1493 when Christopher Columbus brought lemon
seeds to Hispaniola on his voyages.
Spanish conquest throughout the New World helped spread lemon seeds. It
was mainly used as an ornamental plant and for medicine. In the 19th century,
lemons were increasingly planted in Florida and California.
