There is no doubt that lemons are one of the most useful fruits in the world. Thanks to their numerous health benefits and specific taste and scent, they can be part of many different delicious recipes.
It turns out that lemons are great for natural detoxification of the human body. However, when this fruit is juiced it loses a huge number of nutrients and the healing potential it has is reduced greatly.
If you want to get the most from lemons, you should opt for freezing. Several studies have shown that the peel of this fruit can enhance the immune system and provides many other benefits like stabilizing cholesterol levels, keeping us safe from cancer, taking care of bacterial infections and eliminating worms and parasites.

It is worth mentioning that the lemon juice is rich in vitamin C. In addition, the rind is efficient in getting rid of toxins from different parts of the body. Scientific studies have confirmed that the peel of this fruit has up to ten times more vitamins.
A few decades ago, researchers have tested the effects of lemon in cancer patients. They have discovered that lemons can eliminate cancerous cells in a few different kinds of cancer like colon, breast and lung cancer. The best part was that lemons are focused only on the problematic cells – the healthy cells were left unaffected.
Dr. Marilyn Glenville, a famous nutritionist and specialist in women’s health, lemon peel and peels from other fruits can improve the immune system and improve our health in general. This nutritionist also believes that smoothies are much better than juices because they include different parts of the fruits.
The truth is that lemon smoothies come with a little bit bitter taste and that’s why we recommend freezing the lemons. This is how you can do that:
Disinfect and wash the lemons with the help of an apple cider vinegar. After that, rinse the lemons and wait until they are dry. The next step is to leave them in the freezer overnight and grate the fruit in the morning.
These frozen lemons can be part of different smoothies, dishes, baked goods, tea, soups, and desserts.
