I had one of those stupid flat graters that never seems to work well, or at least it doesn't make it easy. This one makes it easy. Here is info about important uses of graters. Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using the entire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can you use the whole lemon without waste? Simple...Soak the citrus in White vinegar to remove pesticides. Let it soak for at least 15 minutes. place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your food. Why would you want to use the whole citrus fruit including the peel or rind? Most of us only think of lemon juice and vitamin C. But there is so much more nutritional value than that. Just a few ideas about what to use it on. Sprinkle it to your vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, whisky.... the list is endless. You can even use grated lemon in a cup of instant noodles and then they will have some nutritional value. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... All of the foods will have an unexpectedly wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before. What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your food? Lemon and other citrus peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than citrus juice itself. And yes, that's what you've been wasting. If you like me have only been using the juice. But from now on, by following this simple procedure of washing and then freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier. It is a fact that lemon and other citrus peels are beneficial in improving ones health because they help purge toxic naterials and even parasitic pathogens from your body. It is also known to be an effective anti-bacterial agent as well as being effective with fungi, as well as internal parasites and worms. It helps lower high blood pressure and helps combat stress and nervous disorders. It also resolves and eliminates phlegm, and mucus from the body. Lemon (and other citrus peel) has been shown to kill cancer cells. Some say it is more effective than chemotherapy. And even better not only does kill cancer cells, but it benefits the health of healthy cells. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your whole body will love you for it!!!!!
