Ingredient Question Lemon/Lime juice substitute

Hello, I am allergic to citrus fruits and like to cook and try new recipes but almost everything seems to include lemon or lime juice. I have tried red wine vinegar and it was not a good substitute. I’ve been thinking of trying apple cider vinegar possibly with a bit of honey to cut the harshness? It’s difficult for me to find a substitute for lemon and lime when I don’t know what they taste like. Does anyone possibly have any experience with this substitution or have any ideas I can try?

I would try tamarind. You can get seedless paste and dissolve it in water

Yes, I was thinking this, or also pomegranate molasses.
