However, the consumption of lemon peel in the community is not common. For one thing, lemon skin tends hard and has a bitter taste. Some people outsmart the way to 'consume' lemon and skin by making infused water from pieces of lemon.
Samuel says infused water has no health benefits. In other words, the various nutrients contained in the lemon can not be absorbed optimally through infused water. "No use, just (add) flavor, lemon flavor," continued Samuel.
Samuel revealed a simple way to consume lemon and skin. The simple way is to make lemon juice at once with the skin.
