The incomparable taste of lemon is primarily associated with tea, but there is a huge number of culinary delights that cannot be imagined without lemon. This fruit is one of the most interesting among all known, primarily due to its versatility, because the scope of its application is truly great.
Lemon is loaded with a huge amount of vitamins and nutrients that are extremely beneficial for the human body. Let's discuss just a few reasons why you should have a lemon in your refrigerator.
For example, lemon peel. Many fruits do not use the peel, but the opposite is true for lemon. Its rind is used in food preparation, most often due to its bright aroma. The peel in cooking, as a rule, is used grated; it is important not to eat the whitish part of the peel - it is most often bitter. For example, to make gremolata - an Italian seasoning for seafood dishes - mix equal parts parsley, garlic and lemon zest. This seasoning perfectly replaces salt and pepper in dishes.
The help of lemon in boiling eggs is invaluable, because if you add a little lemon juice to the water where the eggs are boiled, you can avoid cracked shells and the finished eggs are much easier to clean. Lemon juice should be added as soon as the water boils, and only then the eggs should be put in there. The taste of the eggs will not change.
If lettuce leaves have lost their strength and freshness, you can use lemon again. Add lemon juice to a bowl of cool water and put salad. Then send the salad bowl to the refrigerator for an hour. After an hour, you will be pleasantly surprised how fresh your salad is again.
Fruit slices are not always eaten immediately, the fruit pulp can be preserved in its natural color, without browning, by sprinkling with a few drops of lemon juice.
Lemon juice improves the taste of almost all products during cooking - this applies to fish, meat, chicken, seafood, and vegetables. In addition, it reduces the amount of sodium in food. In addition, lemon is very high in vitamin C, which prevents colds. Scientists in the UK have conducted research confirming the benefits of lemon juice in the prevention of cancer. Lemon is also useful in the fight against excess weight.
After making ice cubes with lemon juice, you can then add them to refreshing drinks. Lemon juice will not spoil any drink, but will only reveal its taste.
Even ordinary lemon water will benefit the body and delight the taste buds.
