Lemons
Lemons are versatile kitchen tools used for more than just juice. Freshly squeezed juice provides a clean acidity that balances fats, while zest carries aromatic oils for depth. Serving wedges alongside seafood or rich dishes allows for a final, bright adjustment at the table. Lemons also serve functional roles, like tenderizing proteins or preventing sliced fruit from browning.
