Taste

Try using a combination of lemon juice and zest for a fresh flavour hit.

Health

Lemon packs a big vitamin C punch, which may lessen the duration of cold symptoms.

Buying

Choose lemons that are plump, bright yellow and feel heavy for their size.

Lemons last longer if stored in the fridge, but bring to room temperature before using to get more juice.
