10. Wild Lemon

Wild lemon fruits are large and round, yellow in color. Their peel is very coarse, warty, about 1 cm thick. The flesh is very juicy, oily, sour, and bitter. The fruit contains a large number of large seeds. Due to a large amount of bitter essential oil, fresh fruits of wild lemon are not consumed.
