Amazing Frozen **Lemon**

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.

How can you use the whole lemon without waste?

Simple.. place the lemon in the freezer section of your
refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and
shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it)and sprinkle it on
top of your foods.

Sprinkle it to your whisky, wine, vegetable salad, ice
cream, soup, noodles,spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish
dishes.

All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste,
something that you may have never tasted before. Most likely
, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore.

Now that you’ve learned this lemon secret, you can use
lemon even in instant cup noodles.

What’s the major advantage of using the whole lemon other
than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times
more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that’s
what you’ve been wasting.

But from now on, by following this simple procedure of
freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your
dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even
healthier.

It’s also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in
eradicating toxic elements in the body.

So place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on
your meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier
and you get to live healthier and longer! That’s the lemon
secret! Better late than NEVER! The surprising benefits of
lemon!

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer
cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that? Because there are
laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that
will bring them huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know
that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.
Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific
effects of chemotherapy.

How many people will die while this closely guarded secret
is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial
multimillionaires large corporations?

As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of
lemons and limes.

You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the
pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc…
It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting
is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.
Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is
considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against
bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal
parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is
too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous
disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes
from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world,
says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970,
the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells
in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and
pancreas…
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than
the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used
chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer
cells.

And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy
with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and
it does not affect healthy cells.

Lemons – a fruit with a wonderful fragrance, great in food and beverages, but also very handy for multiple purposes around the home!

 

Lemons have been cultivated by humans for over a thousand years. The fruit is mentioned in tenth century Arabic literature, but was probably first grown in Assam, India.

 

Lemons are high in vitamin C, have an anti-bacterial effect and are thought to possess antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties. The juice consists of about 5% acid, which also makes them useful for a variety of household purposes. Lemons and/or lemon juice are a popular addition in environmentally friendly cleaning applications.

At last my Lemon tree is bearing fruit. One would think it is easy to grow Lemons, but it is not. I hear on the local gardening show, the questions about growing  Lemons arise every week and they always play the song Just another Lemon tree by Fool’s Garden.

 

I have found that Lemons need deep watering every second day, and should be grown in full sun. Giving them a dose of Epsom Salts and worm compost once a month also speeds the up the Lemon’s growth and flowering.

The little black Argentinian Ants are also running up and down my lemon, farming the aphids, causing the leaves to get sticky and full of aphids. I have solved this by making a Vaseline collar around the trunk.

I look forward to these lemons ripening, they look so juicy.

15 hidden health secrets of lemon are :

1. Acne

2. Anxiety

3. Canker sores

4. Ease fever

5. Easing colds and flu

6. Corns and calluses

7.Eczema

8. Fatigue

9.Halitosis

10.Hypertension

11. Smite a bug bite

12. Insomnia

13. Rheumatism

14. Indigestion

25.Say goodbye to varicose and spider veins.
