Lemon is a citrus fruit widely used in cooking. Celebrated every year at the end of February by the city of Menton during the “Lemon Festival”, its regular consumption brings only benefits to the human body. Used in cooking to enhance a sauce, spice up an accompaniment, or simply consumed as a drink (fruit juice, cocktail), French lemon consumption amounts to 1.5 kg per person per year. French lemon production stands at 4,000 tonnes per year.
Available all year round, lemon is a fruit that keeps well. Composed of approximately 80% water, several varieties of lemons are found in France. Appreciated in cooking for its taste that combines bitterness and acidity, its aroma highlights the finesse of gourmet dishes as well as the most famous cocktails. Its high concentration of vitamin C, healing and disinfectant properties make it a valued ally in medicine.
