Useless Weekly Fact
A lemon contains more sugar than a strawberry. A lemon contains 70% sugar and the strawberry contains only 40% of sugar. The reason that the lemon tastes sour even having more sugar than a strawberry is that the lemon contains a high amount of citric acid, usually 3%-6%, that dominated the sweet taste of the lemon and results in a sour taste.
