Lemons
Lemons are rarely eaten by themselves, as they are intensely sour; but lemon juice, rind, and zest are often used in a wide variety of foods and drinks, and can be used for sweet or savory dishes. This small, yellow citrus fruit has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. It's also a rich source of vitamin C, providing more than half of the recommended Daily Value in a 100 g serving.
