Lemons are undoubtedly one of the most widely used citrus fruits in the world. Originally from Asia and really versatile in the kitchen, lemon can be used for its juice in both sweet and savoury recipes, on salads, as flavour enhancer, but also for its zest added to bakery and other dishes. At EATbyalex, we absolutely love using lemons and it used in so many of our recipes. Both the pulp and the zest are beneficial for health. In fact, nature made lemon as a whole fruit vital for human health and should be consumed possibly in its whole. The juice of lemon contains high amounts of vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of calcium, and when taken together they can maximise bone strength. What few people know is that the white skin outside the lemon pulp at the zest is rich in calcium, so that by consuming the whole lemon one can have optimal vitamin C and calcium absorption.
