Savory Lemon Dishes
The acid in lemon, or other citrus, will make meat more tender by breaking down the connective tissues. That means you can use a less expensive cut of beef and still have it come out great. Lemon juice will also break down the oils on your tongue and make fatty foods more tasty. Chefs will tell you that it can make all the other ingredients perk up and create a well balance dish.
