Lemons, whole, without pips

Lemons are citrus fruits. These figures describe whole lemons with the peel included and the pips removed, rather than lemon juice alone. They mainly provide water, with small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, and contain vitamin C. Per 100g, they provide 58mg of vitamin C, 3.2g of carbohydrate, 1g of protein and 0.3g of fat.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body make collagen, a protein found in skin and other connective tissues. It also helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The carbohydrate in these lemons is present as naturally occurring sugars. Salt and saturated fat levels are low. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
