Can we consume lemon?
We do not recommend having too much lemon.
Lemon is not a Satvic food. It is very sour & falls under the Rajasik category.
In the 17th chapter, Verse 9 of Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains Rajasik food as-
"katv-amla-lavanaty-usna-tiksna-ruksa-vidahinahahara rajasasyesta duhkha-sokamaya-pradah"
Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, pungent, dry and hot, are liked by people in the modes of passion. Such foods cause pain, distress, and disease. Hence, keep in mind that if you are consuming it, consume it sparingly, just for the sake of taste.
