Lemons are one of the most medicinal fruits in existence because they contain a lot of natural organic acids, which lead to a sour taste.
The acids in lemons are mainly citric acid and malic acid. In addition, lemons also contain a small amount of folic acid, niacin, quinic acid, etc.
Citric acid is the main organic acid in lemons. 1 liter of fresh lemon juice contains about 45 grams to 50 grams of citric acid.
Citric acid is an edible acid, and moderate consumption is beneficial and harmless to the human body. Citric acid promotes appetite, enhances metabolism, and has antibacterial properties.
In addition, citric acid can soften blood vessels and promote the absorption of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus in the body.
The content of malic acid in lemon is also very rich, and its sour taste is 20% higher than that of citric acid.
Malic acid has the effect of losing weight, which can break down fat and reduce the accumulation of body fat.
However, the acid in lemons can erode tooth enamel, and eating lemons and drinking lemon juice regularly can increase the risk of tooth decay.
