What is Persian lime or sweet lemon?

Persia lime, sweet lemon, or Citrus limetta, belonging to the family of citrus fruits such as orange, lemon, mandarin, or grapefruit, is a less well-known variety than other limes but nevertheless with great health benefits.

Unlike other lemons and limes, its flavor is slightly acidic and bitter, but it is also sweet, making it more pleasant to consume directly than the other varieties. It is a very aromatic fruit of greenish color that lightens and yellows as it ripens.

Its calorie content is very low and contains the following nutrients:

• Calcium
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Iron
• Vitamins B1, B2 and C
• Fibra
• Niacin
• Citric acid.

Properties for health

• Remove toxins from our body
• Protects the liver and helps digest fats, so it is also useful in cases of difficult and overweight digestion
• Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Increase our defenses and prevent diseases such as flu or colds
• Calm the feverish states (if we take the cooking of peel)
• Heals the stuck in the mouth
• Its vitamin C content, when we combine it with meals, helps us to better assimilate iron, making it ideal in cases of anemia and exhaustion.
• It is a highly antioxidant fruit, which helps us to prevent premature aging

How do we take it?

The best way to take the lime is directly by squeezing its juice, also eating its pulp, or holding it down the top and drinking its juice as we squeeze the fruit, a very traditional way of taking it.

There is another way to benefit from all its properties, also consuming its grating, which is very rich in flavonoids and vitamin C, which consists of freezing limes and grating them to season all kinds of foods and drinks.

Being frozen it is easy to grate with your pulp and skin and so it keeps as long as we need without spoiling. Specifically, if we want to cleanse our body and eliminate toxins, the best way is to take the juice directly or drink a lot of water with frozen and grated Persia lime.

When do we take it?

The best moments to take a sweet lemon and get all its purifying properties are outside meals, fasting, and before we go to bed.

Since it is a fruit that goes very well to the liver, it is highly recommended to take one at night, to help us digest dinner and prepare the body for regenerating during the night.

Instead, in the mornings it is very recommended when we want to counteract the effects of the meal or dinner of the inner day or to rehydrate our body after the night fast.

The effects of the purifications

When we do a purification with natural foods or remedies it is possible that in the first days, we suffer a curative crisis – that is, some symptoms that show that our body is cleaning from toxins, such as grains in the face, diarrhea, stronger sweat, etc.

These days we recommend using the same Persian limes as a natural deodorant. If we liquefy the peeling of the citrus, the juice we get can be used as a very effective natural deodorant without harmful substances. We’ll have to keep it in the fridge for a few days or freeze it and use it.
