Lemons

Lemons.

Among the citrus fruits, lemons hold an important place.

The food value of the lemon lies in the juice. This contains a rich content of vitamin C and vitamins' A and B in a lesser degree.

Lemon juice is often recommended for heart, liver, bladder and kidney complaints. The fruit should be baked slightly, and the juice then shaken up with salt (a teaspoon to the juice of three lemons).

A tablespoonful of salted lemon juice thirty minutes before and after a meal assists digestion.

Lemon juice is an excellent substitute for vinegar and may be used in mayonnaise and salad dressings. Thus, people who are not allowed vinegar in their diet are not deprived of their salad dressing.
