Lemon has always been a star ingredient for me. I daily consume lemon to be health conscious. Lemon and Lime both have equal qualities, as here we get many limes other than lemon I also use them. Good luck friend.
Oh ok,understand.

Hello, as a housewife I imagine myself an expert in the kitchen, lemon is super useful as you mention, a cold lemonade refreshes on hot days and at the same time gives you vitamin C, important to fight flu viruses.
It is also perfect as an antioxidant, to apply it on the hair and fight dandruff is also ideal, not to mention to lose weight, a treasure to have a lemon tree at home.
In our village,each one have this plant in their garden. We too having.
Thank you.
Great explanation, thanka you so much. best of luck
