Lemon

THE HIGHLY fragrant, thick, and deep-yellow peel of lemon is zested to aromatize sweet and savory dishes, such as fish, pasta, Brigadeiros (sweetened condensed milk and chocolate confections) and liqueurs. The pulp is less acidic and less juicy than Persian lime. Widely consumed in Europe and in the United States, it is becoming more popular in the street markets and supermarkets of Southeastern Brazil.
