Lemon juice
Lemon juice is a popular food ingredient that comes from the citrus fruit called a lemon. Lemons are bright yellow fruits with a tangy taste and are commonly used in cooking and baking to add a zesty flavour to dishes. The juice extracted from lemons is the liquid part that is used in various recipes to enhance the taste of dishes.
To make lemon juice, the lemons are usually squeezed to extract the liquid. This process can be done by hand using a citrus juicer or by using a mechanical juicer that efficiently presses the lemons to release the juice. The extracted lemon juice can be used immediately in recipes or preserved by bottling or canning for future use.
Lemon juice appears on food labels as an ingredient because of its distinctive sour flavour and acidity, which can enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It is commonly used in salad dressings, marinades, cocktails, desserts, and various baked goods to provide a refreshing and tangy taste. Lemon juice also acts as a natural preservative in some foods, helping to extend their shelf life by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mould.
