Citrusy Sunday...
Yesterday, started as a beautiful sunny morning .. later turned out to be pretty hot afternoon! We have been to my parent's place as we usually visit them on Sundays. At my mom's place, there is a moderate size garden. We keep it organic. We have lemon tree, mango tree, sapota tree, guava tree, Nyctanthus (parijatham/pavazha malli) tree, moringa tree, nithya malli tree, couple of small curry leaf plants, henna plant, hibiscus plant, thulasi plant, karpoora valli plant, jasmine plant and mint plant.
This Sunday we harvested few lemons. It gives immense pleasure to pluck nice.. ripe ..fresh.. silky.. tiny spherical citrus bombs.. Each of them as cute as a small baby's face.
There are many health benefits of lemons that have been known for ages. The main benefit is that the lemons have antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting properties. They aid weight loss because lemon juice is digestive aid and liver cleanser. Lemon juice also has limoline which promotes immunity and fight infection. Lemon is also rich in citric acid, calcium, magnesium, vitamin c and pectin.
As there are abundant lemon flowers in the tree right now... just waiting for the more fruits.. to prepare myself for the lemon pickle...
