It should give slightly with gentle pressure from the palm of your hand. One lemon should yield about 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice. For optimal juice extraction,microwave the lemonfor about 20 seconds to make it easier to juice.Originally appeared: EatingWell.com, August 2020

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
