Lemons

The lemon is one cheerful fruit. Its bright color, fresh scent, and refreshing taste make it hard to resist. It enlivens both sweet and savory dishes—from quick breads, bars, and tarts to fish, poultry, and grain dishes. (Try it in risotto!) Whether as a squirt in plain water or fruit juice or the focus of lemonade, it’s always a quencher. Lemon is even refreshing when used in make-it-yourself cleansers and room sprays. It’s one fruit you’ll want to have on hand all the time! Read more.
