The '''Lemon''' is a yellow oval-shaped acidic citrus fruit that averages about 6 several inches in length.
The fruit has a tart taste, so although it can be eaten straight, it is more often cooked into other dishes, used as a garnish on foods, or made into soup or drinks such as [[lemonade]] and lemon tea. <ref> http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/</ref>
