What it is Filled
The lemon, a small evergreen citrus tree and its yellow oval fruit, botanically Citrus x limon, a hybrid of citron and sour orange, grown in warm temperate and subtropical regions for its acidic juice rich in citric acid and vitamin C, its aromatic peel and essential oil, and its use in food, drinks, cleaning and traditional remedies; major producers include India, Mexico and Argentina. Lemons are safe foods but their acidity can erode tooth enamel and irritate reflux, and lemon peel oil with sun exposure can cause phytophotodermatitis, a skin reaction.
Why it exists Filled
