Lemons are usually being pushed, sometimes literally, aside in our kitchens and refrigerators. Eventually, we draw on them to decorate or season drinks and teas, but do you know lemons are a big ally for our daily meals?

For instance, lemon zest will easily turn an olive oil dressing into something tastier and definitely much classier.

Another example is a homemade lemonade. The easiest thing to prepare and we barely never drawn on it: squeeze a lemon, add some water and a hint of artificial sweetener. Voilà! A healthy drink in just two minutes.

Lemon juice plays also a big part in marinades for meat and fish helping to soften meats. Another example is Peruvian ceviche: acids of lemon help cook fish meat.

But apart from all the uses organic lemons have in preparing meals, drinking lemon juice or homemade lemonade is one of the healthiest things we can do in daily basis.

Organic lemons contain half the recommended intake of Vitamin C, which helps to:

  • Promote hydration
  • Improve skin quality
  • Smooth digestion

So let’s get into it and get yourself a full pack of organic lemons!
