Lemons are being consumed in increasing amounts in
recent times. Almost every testimonial that I hear from a COVID-19 survivor
touches on the consumption of natural products such as lemon, garlic, and
ginger.
Exactly how much do you know about this celebrated
fruit? It is a citrus fruit that is widely cultivated especially in
Mediterranean countries such as France, Greece, Israel, and Lebanon to mention
a few.
It is used for various reasons and in several ways:
It is used as a flavoring in cakes and various
recipes.
It is used for garnishing fruit salads and serves as
a healthy alternative to high cholesterol-containing creams and spreads.
Lemons are used to making fruit drinks including the
good old lemonade.
They are used to prepare preserves e.g lemon cheese,
lemon curd.
Lemons can be used in preparing healthy puddings and
pies.
