10 genius reasons why you should keep lemons in the freezer

8) Lemons alkalize your body. Many people suffer from body acidity without knowing it. Symptoms include acid reflux, sensitive gums and mouth ulcers, as well as fatigue and nervousness, according to Care2. The easiest way to alkalize your body is to drink water with lemon, and the benefit of using frozen lemons here is that you can be more precise with the amount you add to the water. Lemon juice alone can be quite sour and make a big difference to the water immediately, whereas a mix of the skin and flesh gives a more subtle flavor (and keeps the water cool!).
9) Lemons are low in calories and sugar. As compared to oranges – a more traditional source of Vitamin C – lemons have far less sugar and calories. According to Healthy Eating, lemons have approximately 29 calories and 2.9 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit. By comparison, oranges have 47 calories and 9.4 grams of sugar. Although these sugars are natural, it is still important to limit the amount of sugar we have in our diet.
