Lemons (Citrus limon) are among the world's most popular citrus fruits. They grow on lemon trees and are a hybrid of the original citron and lime. There are many ways to enjoy lemons, but they taste very sour and are usually not eaten alone or as a whole fruit.

Citrus like lemons is high in vitamin C, a primary antioxidant that helps protect cells from damaging free radicals. You’ve probably heard that vitamin C may help prevent or limit the duration of the common cold in some people, but studies are conflicting.
According to the Food and Nutrition Board, general guidelines say that women should get at least 91 ounces per day and men should get at least 125 ounces. This includes water from food and drinks. Vitamin C found in lemons may help reduce skin wrinkling, dry skin from aging, and damage from the sun. How water improves skin is controversial, but one thing is certain. If your skin loses moisture, it becomes dry and prone to wrinkles.
