Alongside apples, these have got to be the most versitile of fruits. Lemon juice itself can be added to almost anything to give it that extra zing, and of course, ice cold lemonade is almost as good as a drink can get, particularly when made with fresh-squeezed lemons! As for eating them raw, I actually enjoy them! Yes, that's right--I don't mind eating them "as is"! Though they are very sour, they have an excellent taste to them that makes it worth putting up with the extreme sourness, a special taste that limes don't have. Perhaps the only thing that would make them better would be for them to be a little less sour...
