Lemons are packed with one-of-a-kind plant compounds known as limonoids. Researchers are studying these compounds for their antioxidant properties. Lemons are also a well-known source of vitamin C, which makes them a valuable part of a balanced diet.
It turns out that the peel, the part most of us throw away, is rich in vitamin C, fiber, and beneficial plant compounds. By using the whole fruit, you get more of what the lemon has to offer and waste less food.
How to Freeze Lemons
If you are wondering about the best way to consume lemon peel, there is a very simple way to do it. Take one lemon, preferably organic, and wash it thoroughly before placing it in the freezer. Wait until the lemon is completely frozen.
You can also cut the lemon into pieces first and then freeze the pieces.
How to Use Frozen Lemons
When the lemon is frozen, just grate or grind it, peel included, and sprinkle it over your beverages, pasta, soups, desserts, and salads.
That’s it! This simple habit adds fresh flavor and extra nutrients to your everyday meals.
