1. Fresh Lemon Long 

   • Description: Fresh Lemon Long is a slender, elongated citrus fruit with a vibrant yellow or sometimes green skin. The fruit is longer and thinner than a typical lemon, resembling a small finger-like shape. The skin is thin and aromatic, and inside, the pulp consists of small, juice-filled vesicles that resemble citrus caviar. The taste is tangy and zesty, similar to regular lemons but with a more concentrated and intense citrus flavor. The flesh is juicy, and the texture is unique compared to regular lemons.

   • Uses: Fresh Lemon Long is often used in cocktails, salads, seafood dishes, and as a garnish. The pulp can be squeezed or sprinkled over dishes for a burst of citrus flavor. It is often used in sauces or as a finishing touch on fish, grilled meats, and vegetables. The zest is also aromatic and can be used to infuse desserts, drinks, or sauces. In some cuisines, it is used in chutneys or pickles. The unique texture and tartness of Lemon Long make it an interesting ingredient in contemporary cooking.
