WHY ORGANIC LEMONS SPECIFICALLY
Conventional lemon skins are among the most heavily treated in conventional produce. Since lemon zest is used directly in cooking and baking, and since we touch the skin every time we squeeze organic lemons matter more than organic versions of many other fruits.
HOW TO USE
- Daily lemon water: squeeze half a lemon into warm water every morning — one of the most evidence-supported daily wellness habits for digestion and Vitamin C.
- Cooking: every Indian, Lebanese, and Middle Eastern dish in the UAE uses lemon as a finishing acid. Dal, sabzi, hummus, tabbouleh — all require it.
- Juicing: combine with carrot, beetroot, ginger, turmeric. The Vitamin C in lemon increases absorption of iron and beta-carotene from other vegetables.
- Dressings: lemon juice with cold-pressed olive oil is the foundation of every Mediterranean salad dressing.
- Preservation: lemon juice prevents browning in cut avocado, apple, and banana.
- Zest: use the zest in baking, marinades, and spice rubs — the highest concentration of lemon's aromatic essential oils is in the outer skin.
