Whether you’re adding a slice to your drink, some acidity to a sauce or zesting into a bake, the humble lemon is versatile — but is it healthy?
Are lemons good for you?
Yes, in a word. Lemons are full to the brim with nutrients as well as flavour!
The health benefits of eating lemons
Like lemon’s cousin, the orange, it’s full of vitamin C which is an important antioxidant as well as potentially reducing blood pressure and the risks of strokes and heart complications.
If you’re eating the pulp then you’re getting a great amount of fibre into your diet which is great for promoting good digestive health.
