Description

What could be more sunny than a slice of fresh lemon?

These tangy-tart fruits are cultivated in tropical and temperate climates around the world, lending zest to a myriad of global dishes.

In addition to providing vitamin C, these low glycemic fruits also contain cholesterol-lowering terpenes, plus liminoids and limonene and may help to alkalize the body.

Antioxidant Score (ORAC)=1,225

Selecting & Storing

Choose lemons with smooth, brightly colored yellow skin. Lemons should be firm, plump and heavy for their size. Refrigerate lemons in a plastic bag for 2 to 3 weeks.
