“Are you making your lemon water correctly?” Soaking lemon in water has benefits for beauty, skin whitening, and weight loss. As a result, dried lemon has also become a popular item. Regarding this, a nutrition professional stated that the vitamin C in dried lemon, made by baking and dehydration methods, is significantly lost.
A nutritionist says that the online promotion of lemon is largely hype by businesses. "If the dried lemon slices are made by baking and dehydration, the vitamin C in the lemon will be even more significantly lost," said Teacher Xue. "Drinking water with this kind of dried lemon slice makes it difficult to supplement vitamin C. However, some people just like the sour taste of lemon water, and drinking a little is fine."
