Organic Lemon - a member of the Rutasceae family.

Organic Lemons are oval in shape and feature a yellow, texturized outer peel. Choose lemons that are heavy for their size and that feature peels that have a finely grained texture. They should be fully yellow in color. Signs of over mature fruit include wrinkling, soft or hard patches and dull coloring.

Organic Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C as well as phytonutrient properties.

Organic produce is growing in popularity as people are becoming more aware of the impact that their food choices have not only on their own personal health but also on the environment in which they live. Organic foods have traditionally been purchased because they do not contain the pesticide residue levels found on conventionally grown food. Organic produce is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
