Find Cultivars that Taste Like Lemon

Because they contain citric acid and natural sugar, lemons can taste both sweet and sour. Whether a lemon tastes more sweet than sour and bitter depends on where it was grown and many other environmental factors. Lemons are typically not eaten on their own, but the juice of this citrus appears in many dishes, thanks to its tangy and floral flavor with hints of pine and herbs.

Unsurprisingly, the most abundant terpene found in lemons is Limonene, as the name implies. The secondary terpenes found in many lemons are terpinolene and caryophyllene. Lemon flavors can be found in a variety of cannabis cultivars, such as Lemon Haze, Mimosa, and Juicy Fruit.
