It’s National Lemon Juice Day, a quiet nod to one of the simplest ways to add a little brightness to everyday life.

Whether it’s a splash in a glass of water, a drizzle over a fresh meal, or the secret ingredient in your favourite cake, lemon juice brings a natural lift—fresh, light, and full of flavour. It’s a reminder that even small things can make a difference.

Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, which supports your immune system, boosts skin health, and can help to fight fatigue. Its natural acidity can aid digestion and give your body a refreshing reset. Even the scent of lemon has been linked to reduced stress and improved mood, proof that a little sour can do a lot of good.

Why not take today as a reason to try a new recipe, share a homemade lemonade with a friend, or just enjoy something simple and refreshing? Sometimes, all it takes is a little citrus to brighten the day :).
