Lemon (Hindi name - Nimboo) is a small evergreen tree that reaches up to 11 feet in height. Its bark varies in color from clear grey on the trunk, green on the younger branches to a purplish color on the twigs. The trees have thorns and fruits that turn from green to yellow on ripening. Flowers and ripe fruits can be found at the same time on a lemon tree. This famous ellipsoidal fruit is highly popular for its juice. The pulp and rind of the fruit are primarily used in cooking and baking. Lemon juice is acidic because of which it is a cheap, readily available acid that is considered the best fit for educational science experiments. A fully ripe lemon has a bright yellow nose, a layer of pith underneath, and a paler yellow segmented interior.
