Lemons are neat since they have so many versatile uses, from making natural household cleaners to cooking. And the smell of citrus blossoms are also very inviting.
Beautiful view of the blue ocean mixed with some yellow lemons and green grass. Lovely photo from Amalfi Coast.
There is one place in the world that loves it’s lemon, and it is located in the beautiful Amalfi Coast of Italy. I first saw scenes of this place from Rick Steve’s Travels on PBS. The views are amazing and the place is very colorful. A great mix of the blue ocean and yellow lemons.
There are actually many varieties of lemons grown in this part of Italy, especially in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. The big and bumpy ones are actually citron and are popular in making jams or desserts. The ones grown in Sorrento are smaller but very aromatic. These two types of lemon are made into granita (or Italian shaved ice mixed with lemonade). The classic summer drink of fresh squeezed lemon juice is a favorite. As well as gelato (it’s like sorbet or “sorbetto alla limone”).
