Yellow Lemon Dry

Lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm.) a yellow or pale yellow prolate fruit with five to 10 seeds, botanically a berry, is known throughout the world, and is used in numerous foodways and cuisines. The juice of the fruit is commonly used as a food ingredient in both commercial and home recipes, and is valued for its tart, tangy, and fresh character. The exceptionally fragrant rind is used as a garnish and flavoring and is a major source of commercial essential oil and aroma compounds. The lemon flower is sweetly scented, with an aroma similar to other citrus flowers. The essential oils from the flowers, twigs, and fruit can be distilled or otherwise extracted to obtain materials suitable for use in flavors and fragrances.
