"Lemon-flavored" refers to a taste that mimics the flavor of fresh lemons, which are citrus fruits known for their bright yellow color and tangy, acidic taste. This flavor is often described as refreshing and zesty, making it popular in various food and beverage products, including candies, sodas, and desserts. In culinary applications, lemon flavor can enhance dishes by adding a burst of acidity and brightness. It is commonly used in lemonade, lemon meringue pie, and marinades, as well as in savory dishes to balance richness. The flavor can be derived from natural lemon juice or artificial flavoring agents.
