lemon
The lemon symbolizes vitamin C like no other food. While the flesh is highly sought after, the peel often ends up in the trash. This is a big mistake, as it is the most valuable part of this powerful fruit. The vitamin C content of the peel is many times higher than that of the flesh. Pectins (plant fiber) ensure the removal of toxins and boost metabolism. Flavonoids in lemon peel promote blood cell health by regulating blood pressure and lowering LDL cholesterol.
