What many people don’t know is that the highest concentration of nutrients is within the peel of lemons.
We usually throw out the peel when we consume lemons, which is a big mistake as the peel is just as beneficial as the fruit itself. In order to get all the vitamins and minerals from the citrus fruit, we need to consume the peel as well.
Lemons are rich in a variety of nutrients such as vitamins A, B6, C and E, as well as iron, zinc, potassium, fiber and protein.
Besides these nutrients, they also contain flavonoids and limonoids which can strengthen your cells, fight free radicals in the body and prevent certain diseases.
