Description:
The lemon (Citrus limon) is a species of small evergreen trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae.
The origin of the lemon is unknown, though lemons are thought to have first grown in northeast India, northern Myanmar or China.
As a cultivated tree, the lemon is now grown to a limited extent in most tropical and subtropical countries.
Lemon trees usually bloom throughout the year, and the fruit is picked 6 to 10 times a year.
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 peel can be used in the manufacture of pectin, a polysaccharide used as a gelling agent and stabilizer in food and other products.
