Lemon wedges are small, triangular pieces cut from a lemon, a bright yellow citrus fruit. Typically, a lemon is sliced into quarters or eighths, creating wedges that are easy to handle. These wedges are often used as a garnish or flavor enhancer in various dishes and beverages, adding a refreshing tartness. In culinary settings, lemon wedges are commonly served with seafood, salads, and drinks like iced tea or water. They can also be squeezed to release their juice, which is rich in vitamin C and adds a zesty flavor to recipes.
