Many people love lemon. The citrus fruit is also good as a cooking ingredient.
But this gift of the earth's flora is not only magnificent in itself. It can be used with great benefit in frozen form.
Unlike many other vegetables and fruits, which lose their qualities when frozen, lemon retains almost all of its beneficial properties.
In addition, in this form, this representative of citrus fruits can be stored much longer than in the traditional version.
Frozen lemons retain vitamins and antioxidants, which are abundant in lemons.
Preserved thanks to citric acid, which ensures the stability of vitamin C and other valuable elements.
The mentioned antioxidants in frozen citrus fruits continue to protect the body's cells from damage and slow down the aging process.
However, you need to freeze it correctly: for this you should use airtight packaging.
The latter prevents oxidation and preserves the taste of the product.
By the way, you can freeze it in different ways: the whole lemon at once, cut into slices, or just the juice.
It is worth noting that lemon peel retains all the essential oils and nutrients it contains.
As for the culinary “options” of frozen lemon, it can be added, for example, to hot drinks, and can be used in the preparation of sauces, marinades, and desserts.
Also in this form, lemon is often used as a cosmetic product, in particular, to refresh the skin.
