What is Lemon's juice?

Lemon’s juice is the yellow liquid you get when you squeeze a lemon.

Imagine a lemon as a tiny fruit superhero that lives inside a green suit. When you press on it with your hand or a spoon, poof, out comes its special juice, which is like the superhero's power drink. This juice is sour, just like when you eat a sour candy.

How It Works

Lemons are full of tiny pockets inside them, and each pocket has some juice. When you squeeze the lemon, those pockets break open, and the juice flows out, kind of like how water comes out of a sponge when you press on it.

What You Can Do With It

You can mix lemon juice with sugar to make lemonade, which is a tasty drink that makes your mouth feel happy. Or you can use it to clean things, because the juice helps remove yucky stuff, just like soap!

So next time you see a lemon, think of it as a juice machine waiting to be squeezed!
