Benefits of lemon lentils.

Lemon is a great source of vitamin-C. When you put lemon in the lentils, its taste is sour as well as the nutrition also increases. Especially for those who are struggling with iron deficiency, consumption of lemon is very beneficial. Vitamin-C is necessary to absorb the iron present in the lentils well in the body, and lemon helps in this work. Therefore, this combination is not only delicious, but also healthy.
Although lemon is good for health, it does not mean that you squeeze lemon in hot lentils every time. When the lentils are too hot and you squeeze lemon on it immediately, most of the vitamin-C present in the lemon can be destroyed. Therefore, lemon should always be added only when lentils become mildly hot or slightly cooled, so that its nutrition remains intact.

If a person has an acidity or gas problem, then he should avoid putting lemon in the lentils. Lemon has acidic properties, which can increase more acidity in the stomach.

The fragrance and sourness of lemon makes the lentils more tasty, which also increases the desire to eat and also gets nutrition. Also, vitamin-C strengthens immunity, which is necessary for both children and the elderly.
