Let us know if you're going to start adding lemon peel to your diet regularly! We'd love to hear how it goes!

[@mariamvenketsamy7929]

Thanks so much for caring and sharing God bless you

[@lynkinealy2926]

I add it to smoothies. It's Great for brightening the skin 🍋😚

[@5pillars-health]

Totally agree! The skin brightening effect is real noticeable once you consistently have it for a while. What kind of smoothie do you put it in? Does it overpower the other flavours at all?

[@lynkinealy2926]

@@5pillars-health I make a green tea base. With half an avocado. Some chlorella. Walnuts. Honey ...and linseed oil with the peel. Beautiful skin !! Not overpowering

[@5pillars-health]

@@lynkinealy2926 That sounds delightful! We'll have to give it a go ourselves!

Whole organic lemon + 10oz. Raw Frozen Blueberries + 1 carrots + 1 small orange....Blend...tastes sweet...( also 1 glass water ) ⭐

[@5pillars-health]

Love this! Sounds delicious

[@Hellokittysbaby]

I take the inside out and throw it way. You can also squeeze it with bare hands and drink the juice. Then cut the peel into small bit size pieces and sprinkle sugar in them then consume. The sugar takes some of that bright sour away. 😊❤peace and love xo

[@5pillars-health]

Love this! Please share more whenever you can!

[@lauraautry6992]

Drink lemon water everyday and eat the peels

[@5pillars-health]

We absolutely agree!

[@ignacioduran5993]

Good maybe if they're organic, otherwise you're getting a lot of pesticides, wax, and whatever else the industry sprays on them. Why was no mention at all made of this in this relatively long video?

[@5pillars-health]

That's a fair point! We have made an assumption that people are able to make sensible decisions on where they source their fruit and vegetables. You can of course, and we would recommend, washing all your fruit and vegetables before eating them. And, as you suggest, finding a good source to find your fruit and vegetables is always an excellent idea. We are fans of farmer's markets for our produce!

How shall we prepare lemon peel to include in our meal or drink?

[@5pillars-health]

There are heaps of ways to do that, some suggestions in the video. We could link you out to an article with more information if you’d like?

[@martindominguez2767]

Put one lemon with a glass of water ( minus the seeds) in the blender ice and drink it one cup with a meal does wonders for your sistem took care of my acid reflux and bad indigestion

[@5pillars-health]

This is such a great idea! Sounds delightful when it’s Ice cold!

Lemon is magic, peel, for your health? Dont dead, open inside

[@5pillars-health]

We see what you did there ;)

[@jisanshams]

I like to chew raw lemon peel.

[@5pillars-health]

Do you chew it and then spit it out later? Or chew and swallow? We’re intrigued!

[@robertsmwinyi4515]

I juiced a lemon, cut the peels into small pieces, mix with juice into the cup full of warm water, four cloves garlic, two inches ginger ( all grated) two table spoons of natural honey, then drink in an empty stomach daily. It's very good for body health.

[@5pillars-health]

@@robertsmwinyi4515 that sounds pretty good! We love all of those ingredients. What’s the taste like?

[@nicidevine6670]

I don’t think so because I can’t eat them

[@5pillars-health]

That's unfortunate! They're so amazing!
