ORANGE PEEL AND LEMON PEEL - CALIFORNIA

Introduction                                                                                                                                   

The bright orange and lemon colourings gives a huge clue that yet again these plants contain high levels of antioxidants and bioflavanoids which prevent cellular free radical damage.  Apart from this they are like the Acerola Cherries, rich in vitamin C.  Additionally their phyto-nutrient content is most impressive to include rutin, hesperidin, pectin, polyphenols, limonene carotenoids and many vitamins names, A, B1, B2, B3 and vitamin K.

Lemon Peel

The peel in SuperFood Plus comes from organically grown Californian lemons. Lemon peel’s pungent, sweet and bitter flavour delights the taste buds and settles the stomach, helping to remove flatulence, intestinal pain, swelling etc. It can motivate stuck, heated and inactive livers and is also able to regulate the spleen and pancreas, which greatly aids digestion. The white pithy inner peel contains vitamin P, which produces high bioflavonoid activity when combined with vitamin C. It also helps to resolve excess mucus and lung congestion. Lemon peel is very good at destroying putrefactive bacteria in both the intestines and mouth, thus helping poor digestion function, bad breath and more. Lemon peel promotes weight loss through improving conversion of fat stores and it will help improve circulation, partly due to its high citric acid content, which thins the blood. It also helps strengthen the immune system.

Orange Peel

The orange peel in SuperFood Plus also comes from organically grown oranges in California. Not unlike lemon peel, the flavour of orange peel is both sweet and sour, which as a combined flavour strengthens weak digestion and promotes a more robust appetite. It helps cool and clear any hot and inflamed conditions. Orange peel cools and moistens bodies that have a tendency towards being overheated, a condition that can come with inflammatory and highly acidic conditions like arthritis. Like lemon peel it can help strengthen the immune system through its bioflavonoid components and can also helping remove excessive mucus levels and attendant respiratory complications.
