Marrakech Limonetta

Commonly found in Moroccan cooking, Marrakech lemons are distinctive in shape— a rounded or flattened base on one end, a fairly thin and bumpy yellow-orange rind along with a juicy, sour flesh that tastes acidic rather than sweet. In addition, these lemons are high in Vitamin C, not to mention that it contains some calcium, iron, and dietary fiber. As a matter of fact, citrus in general has a variety of health benefits. The Vitamin C, for instance, aids in the body's absorption of calcium, while antioxidants promote a healthy vascular system and immune system. In addition, and similar to other lemons, Marrakech lemons can be used whenever a bittering agent is desired for flavoring.
