Lemon is one of the best immune-boosting citrus fruits on the market, and its list of health benefits is pretty much endless. In addition to being used to make lemonade, cocktails, and salad dressings, lemon comes with a long list of creative uses in the kitchen that never crossed your mind.
Fresh Lettuce
Instead of throwing away your leafy greens after a few days, use lemon juice to refresh them. Soak your lettuce and other leafy greens in cold water, and add a few drops of lemon juice to the mix before refrigerating your leafy greens for an hour.
Boiled Eggs
Brushing your eggshells with a few drops of lemon juice can do wonders for your boiled eggs. They won’t crack during the boiling process and it will be much easier to peel them afterward.
Brown Fruits
If you’re looking for a way to keep certain fruits, such as avocados, apples, and bananas, from browning quickly, a few drops of lemon juice can slow down the oxidation process.
Sticky Rice
If you never tried adding a few squeezes to your rice, now’s the time to start. By adding them to your cooking water, you’ll stop your rice from becoming sticky and clumpy.
