Dehydrated lemon
There are many health benefits attributed to dried lemon, as well as fresh lemon juice. This citrus fruit has been known for its properties for millennia, although its perception has changed over time. Let's see how ...
If in ancient times it was used as a natural antiseptic and disinfectant for our body, the high value of vitamin C contained in lemons has been known for some centuries.
Lemons are very rich in dietary fiber, which helps digestion together with citric acid, a natural preservative that facilitates our body in digesting food.
This acid helps the intestines to function properly, and is useful in preventing kidney stones as it has a corrective effect on the kidneys.
At the digestive level, in addition to citric acid, the citrates (salts) of lemon are natural acidity regulators. Lemons are known as alkalizers - they can cleanse the stomach walls from acid buildup, reducing heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux. Its acid flavor, also present in the version of dried lemons, derives from citric acid.
Other substances that give lemon particular properties are D-limonene and pinenes, contained in the lemon essential oil and in the peel. D-limonene has long been the subject of research for its anti-inflammatory properties, and as a natural element suitable for the prevention of stomach acid, regulating the production of gastric juices.
Lemon contains a high volume of ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, effective in preventing scurvy, and as an antioxidant.
Dehydrated lemon also contains a high volume of phytochemicals of this type, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, naringin, hesperetin and naringenin. Naringenin has been found to have a bio-active effect on human health as an antioxidant, to counteract free radicals. Due to this action, lemon is also considered beneficial for the immune system.
Used for centuries as an anti-inflammatory, lemon is able to defend us from flu and cold attacks, because it lowers the levels of histamine, an organic compound that makes the eyes red and runny. Its antiseptic properties,
In addition to vitamin C, lemons are a source of the vitamin B complex such as folate, pyridoxine and pantothenic acid. In addition, they contain a high amount of minerals such as calcium, iron, copper and potassium (in greater quantities) which support the body in controlling blood pressure and are beneficial for the muscles.
