Description
The lemon plant forms an evergreen spreading bush or small tree, 3–6 metres (10–20 feet) high if not pruned. Its young oval leaves have a decidedly reddish tint; later they turn green. In some varieties the young branches of the lemon are angular; some have sharp thorns at the axils of the leaves.
It is used fresh for cooking, and its juice is used in the industry for processed foodstuffs. For the pharmaceutical industry it is the raw material for many medicine manufactures, and at home it is used for different homemade remedies.
Nutrition and eating:
The lemon has multiple properties: it reinforces the immunological system, it revitalizes, it activates the calcium metabolism for bones and teeth, it cures hemorrhages, it rejuvenates and it helps in sliming diets. Nevertheless, as a very energetic fruit, it must not be given to elderly people and those in acute nervous condition.
