13. LEMON - YOU WON'T BELIEVE ITS USES! It’s a common fruit but it has a wide range of uses other than as a decoration for a cocktail or a garnish for seafood dish‪!‬ Craftsteading

This episode is about lemons, Citrus limon. I’ve chosen lemons because it’s pretty likely that most listeners will have access either to lemons the fruit, or a lemon tree, or both.
You can eat the pith, juice, rind and even the flowers of the lemon. Lemons are popular as food and drink but they also have medicinal properties. They can be used as an insect repellent, for metal polishing, or as a bleach. Lemon tree wood is prized for woodworking.
