Which lemon variety is better

I believe everyone is familiar with lemons. This food has many varieties, and different varieties taste completely different. Lemons from different regions also look quite different. Only in this way can people taste more lemon flavors. Moreover, the medicinal and edible value of lemons themselves are quite rich and of high value.

Lemon (scientific name: Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f.), a plant of the genus Citrus in the Rutaceae family, is also known as lemon fruit, citron, and motherwort fruit. A small tree with few or almost thornless branches, young leaves and flower buds dark purple-red, thick papery leaves, ovate or elliptical. Flowers are solitary or in axillary clusters of a few. The fruit is oval or ovate, with a thick, usually rough, lemon yellow peel, acidic to very acidic juice, small seeds, ovate, pointed at the end; the seed coat is smooth, the cotyledons are milky white, usually simple or polyembryonic. The flowering period is April-May, and the fruiting period is September-November.

Lemons are produced south of the Yangtze River in China and are native to Southeast Asia. The main producing areas are the United States, Italy, Spain and Greece.

Lemon is very sour and is the favorite food for pregnant women with liver deficiency, so it is called Yi Mu fruit or Yi Mu child. Lemons are rich in citric acid, so they are known as "citric acid warehouses". Its fruit is juicy, crispy and has a strong aroma. Because of its extremely sour taste, it can only be used as a high-quality seasoning to make drinks, dishes, cosmetics and medicines. In addition, lemon is rich in vitamin C, which can reduce phlegm and relieve cough, promote salivation and strengthen the stomach. It is used for symptoms such as bronchitis, whooping cough, loss of appetite, vitamin deficiency, heatstroke and thirst. It is the nemesis of "scurvy".

Mizawa lemon: Wash the lemon peel with salt, or soak it in salt water for half an hour. Then remove the stems of the lemon and cut into thin slices. Marinate all the lemons in a water-free and oil-free glass sealed jar in the order of one lemon slice and one spoonful of honey (the honey must be marinated over the lemon slices). Cover with lid and store in the refrigerator. Marinate overnight and you can drink it. It will taste better if you add lemon juice after three or four days. When flushing, just pick out one or two slices, then scoop two spoons of honey and lemon juice, and flush them together with warm water. (Do not use hot water, which will destroy the nutrients in honey)
