Description

Lemon is a very versatile fruit, which can be used both as a seasoning in various meat or fish dishes, and in the preparation of desserts or juices rich in vitamin C. Each 100 grams of lemon has only 26 calories, and its benefits can be obtained by using its juice or zest, rich in essential oils. 

Lemon helps improve immunity, making it a great ally in fighting flu and colds, especially when used in tea with honey, for example.
