The lemon is a small evergreen citrus tree with oval leaves, purple-tinged flower buds and oval yellow fruits. It is a hybrid of the citron and bitter orange, and evidence suggests it first arose in northeast India.
Known in Sanskrit as Jambira, the fruit and peel are used in Ayurveda and Indian cooking for digestive comfort. Lemon juice and peel are traditional ingredients in skin-brightening packs, hair rinses and natural cleansers.
