PRESERVED LEMONS

Known as a therapeutic fruit, the brightly coloured astringent and sour lemon is simply the zest!  Lemons are high in vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, calcium, folate, B vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential oils.

The lemon peel contains essential oils and most of the antioxidants so this recipe is another great way to enjoy the peel.  Preserved lemons can be added to salads, soups, smoothies, eggs, fish, chicken and roasted vegetables. 

Preserved lemons are lemons that are sealed in a jar with salt for weeks to several months.  Preserving the lemons ferments the fruit resulting in healthy bacteria for your gut as well as a delicious mellow yellow floral flavour.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
