lemon juice
Tart yellow extract
Lemon juice is the liquid squeezed from lemons, used in cooking, drinks, and cleaning.
Its sharp acidity brightens flavors in dishes and cocktails, prevents cut fruit from browning, and cuts through grease.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the fish.
Bottled versions substitute for fresh in recipes.
