Lemons are a great source of Vitamin C. To pick good lemons
look closely at their skin texture and quality. The skin
should be smooth and firm. The coloring should be rich and
consistent. Light colored lemon skin indicates flesh that
lacks the ideal amount of juice. Lemons are picked with
light green tints and ripened in cold storage. The commercial
lemon industry was spawned during the gold rush when the
fruit was used to combat scurvy.
