DO YOU KNOW THE VERSATILE EFFECT OF CITRUS FRUITS?
Citrus fruits are as versatile as life itself. Their ingredients support both the body and overall well-being. Universally applicable – for example, in personal care, as a health-promoting natural product, and of course in fine cuisine – this superfruit is generally considered a source of life. Here are a few interesting facts about our favorite fruit.
Ingredients
Vitamin C.
The most well-known vitamin helps strengthen our immune defenses. This means it supports our body and contributes, among other things, to the normal functioning of the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C must be consumed regularly, as our bodies unfortunately cannot produce it on their own. Our daily requirement for vitamin C is around 100 mg. Consuming lemon juice helps us reach this amount. One serving of lemon juice (30 g) contains 15 mg of vitamin C, which corresponds to 15% of the recommended daily intake.
Lemon oil.
The valuable lemon oil is an important component of the lemon peel. It is extracted during the pressing of the lemons and serves, among other things, as a flavor carrier, enhancing and rounding out the taste of the lemon juice.
Citric acid.
It is a mild acid found in both lemons and limes. However, its concentration is relatively low, at around 7%.
Universal essence.
Hair, skin, teeth, and nails will thank you!
Adding a few drops of lemon juice to your daily portion of hand, body, or face cream before application is said to work like a fountain of youth.
