Lemon is one of the most loved ingredients in Indian homes, from a squeeze over dal to a glass of nimbu pani on a hot day. Dried and ground into a powder, it brings the same bright flavour to your kitchen all year round.
Lemon is not a cure for anything, but it is a refreshing, nutrient-rich ingredient that fits easily into a healthy routine. Here is what makes it special.
A Natural Source of Vitamin C
Lemons naturally contain vitamin C, which supports the normal function of the immune system and helps the body make collagen for healthy skin.
Bright Flavour Without Extra Salt
A little lemon lifts the taste of soups, salads and vegetables, which makes it easier to cut back on salt and sugar without losing flavour.
A Refreshing Way to Stay Hydrated
Warm or cold lemon water is an easy habit that encourages you to drink more water through the day.
Handy All Year Round
Lemon powder stores easily and does not spoil like fresh fruit, so you can add a lemony touch to drinks, chutneys, marinades and dressings whenever you like.
How to Use Lemon Powder
Stir half a teaspoon into a glass of cool or warm water, or sprinkle it over salads, fruit, chaat and grilled vegetables just before serving.
