Use this lemon juice to add a fresh, citrusy note to your cooking and baking. It's excellent for tenderizing meats in marinades or adding a bright finish to grilled fish.

For beverages, it's perfect for lemonade, iced tea, or adding a squeeze to water. You can also use it to prevent cut fruits like apples and avocados from browning.
