Lemon for decoration
Description
Lemon for decoration is a small, intensely yellow fruit with a thin, shiny skin featuring distinct pores and juicy, tart flesh. Its flavor combines fresh acidity with a slight bitterness from the peel, and the aroma of essential oils adds freshness and character to dishes. It is rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and pectins, low in calories, and contains trace amounts of minerals; it supports immunity, has antioxidant properties, aids in iron absorption, and digestion. In gastronomy, lemon for decoration pairs well with fish, seafood, salads, cocktails, and desserts, where slices, twists of peel, or thin zest add color and fragrance. Store whole fruits in a cool place or in the refrigerator drawer for up to two weeks, and cut ones tightly wrapped or in a container; juice and peel can be frozen.
