Questions and answers about drinking fragrant lemons
Do you have the same fragrant lemons as lemons?
? The same citrus belongs to Rutaceae, but the size of fragrant lemon is much smaller than that of lemon, and it is flat and uneven, like a small orange that has just borne fruit, but its nutritional value is much higher than that of lemon. The juice is bright yellow, and its aroma and taste will be more abundant and unique. Lemon is a native variety in Taiwan Province Province. Because it can't be eaten directly, you rarely have a chance to see it in the market of Taiwan Province Province, and you can hardly see the fresh fruit of fragrant lemon in mainland China. The original lemon juice was produced for the convenience of everyone, and it was only in the past two years that it began to be sold in the mainland.
Can't you drink lemon if your stomach is bad?
Some people think that people with stomach problems should not drink lemonade, because they are afraid of being too sour to stimulate the stomach, and people with hyperacidity should not drink it. In fact, the fragrant lemonade brewed at the ratio of 1:30 is very weak, which will not harm the stomach and cause gastric ulcer. It is not pure fragrant lemon juice (the original juice of fragrant lemon has a pH of about 2, so you can't drink it directly! Need watering! )。
People with hyperacidity can drink it just by gently soaking lemon. Westerners prefer to squeeze lemon juice on food, thinking that it can help digestion, and fragrant lemon has the same magical effect. For people with indigestion, you can add a thin slice of ginger to light lemon water, which is beneficial to promote the secretion of digestive juice.
Lemon is an acidic food?
Because citron tastes sour, many people think citron is acidic.
In fact, although the taste of lemon is acidic and the PH value is acidic, it belongs to alkaline food in medicine. This is because the rich citric acid in lemon will be completely metabolized after entering the human body, generating carbon dioxide and water, and the gas will be discharged from the body, so that the sour taste will be eliminated.
However, the calcium ions and potassium ions contained in fragrant lemon remain in the body, and these ions can be combined with acid ions, so the acidity of urine naturally decreases, so fragrant lemon juice belongs to alkaline food.
No drinking during the day?
Some people have heard that fragrant lemon juice can whiten skin, but others have heard that fragrant lemon is a kind of "photosensitive food", and they are worried that the skin will turn black after drinking fragrant lemon water during the day. Actually, it's all misplaced. Drinking lemon juice will not cause photosensitive problems, unless you apply lemon juice or something containing vitamin C to the surface of your skin and directly expose it to the sun, it will turn black.
Correct drinking method of lemon juice
Matters needing attention in drinking fragrant lemon
Lemon juice is extracted from the whole fruit, and lemon essential oil will adsorb the sediment of the juice to produce lumps, so it must be shaken well before drinking. note:
① The unopened lemon juice can be stored for 1 year at room temperature and in the dark, and it can be stored in the refrigerator for a longer time.
② Lemon juice does not add any preservatives. After opening the bottle, it should be sealed and covered in time and stored in the refrigerator. It is recommended to drink within 1 month. Refrigerator storage can reduce the volatilization of effective components and the oxidation of vitamin C.
(3) If there are layered or milky impurities in the bottle mouth or juice, it is normal. Because it is the peel essential oil in citron, its density is light, and it will be suspended on the original juice. Citron essential oil will adsorb the suspended matter in the juice and make it agglomerate, but this will not affect the quality. Just shake it before use!
The water temperature is controlled within 40℃
It is advisable to keep the water temperature within 40℃ when the lemon juice is cooled. If you drink with boiled water, the temperature will rise, which will make the sour taste of the original juice more sour. In addition, too high water temperature will lead to the loss of effective components such as vitamin C.
Using glasses is the best choice.
Because the acidity of fragrant lemon juice is more acidic than ordinary lemon, and the PH value is 2, this acid is corrosive to some extent and will react chemically with plastic (melting at high temperature to release harmful substances) or metal thermos. Drinking for a long time is not good for your health. So glass is our best choice.
The golden ratio of fragrant lemon juice brewing is 1:30.
The golden ratio of fragrant lemon juice is 1: 30, and 1 (original juice) is 30 (water). Fruit granules are rich in hesperidin, hesperidin and other ingredients, especially the nutrition of pericarp is greater than that of pulp and juice, so juice and pericarp are squeezed together, so there will be bitterness. The first half will be bitter and the second half will be sweet. If you are not used to it, you can taste it as you like. If you drink on an empty stomach in the morning, it is recommended not to be too strong. For friends with stomach problems, the concentration can be lower (1:40- 1:50). You can eat some food to warm your stomach first, and you should not drink it on an empty stomach, because citric acid is sour before it reaches your stomach.
Smart lemon collocation-adding honey will taste better.
Some friends, when they hear that it is sour, have a conditioned reflex and drool. Friends who are afraid of acid can add a little honey to nourish their stomachs.
Because the original juice of fragrant lemon is extracted from the whole skin, and it does not mean that ordinary drinks will add various additives, which is a bit sour in the peel (like the taste of dried tangerine peel), and it will be better to add honey to drink. Effective nutrients such as flavonoids and essential oil of lemon are mainly in the peel.
We also took the ingredients contained in lemon juice to test the data, unlike some businesses that tell you ambiguously that it must be audited and amplified by strict researchers and experts, so the quality is strictly controlled and the chest is guaranteed! !
