FREEZING LEMONS - WHO KNEW

Amazing frozen lemons. All it is.....is a frozen lemon.

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming

the entire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can you use the whole

lemon without waste?

Simple.. place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your

refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred

the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your

foods.

Sprinkle it to your vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, cereals,

noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, whisky.... the

list is endless.

All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, something

that you may have never tasted before. Most likely, you only think of

lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore.

Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in

instant cup noodles.

What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than

preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more

vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that's what you've

been wasting.

But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the

whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume

all of those nutrients and get even healthier.

It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating

toxic elements in the body.

So place your washed lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your

meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to

live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret! Better late than

never, right? The surprising benefits of lemon! Lemon (Citrus) is a

miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger

than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories

interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge

profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon

juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant

and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.

How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so

as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large

corporations?

As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes.

You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice

press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc. It is credited with

many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on

cysts and tumors.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say

it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as

an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi,

effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood

pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and

nervous disorders.

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of

the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than

20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys

the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate,

lung and pancreas. The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times

better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used

chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.

And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon

extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect

healthy cells.

So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your

whole body will love you for it!!!!!
