Lemon Desserts Recipe

Lemon desserts help digest protein and cleanse the blood by helping to balance blood pH. A zester adds important citrus flavonoids to your family diet. Flavonoids as well as eight minerals are needed to enhance the function of vitamin C to over 600 functions. Flavonoids such as rutin in lemon zest, plus quercetin, grape seed extract, and hesperitin help to maintain the integrity and firmness of blood vessels and cellular walls. The team reduces toxins and free radical damage, stops bleeding of noses, varicose veins and spider veins. Viruses, bacteria and parasites are weakened with vitamin C supplements. To prevent cancer and heart disease increase vitamin C to 3,000 mg. a day.

CHEF'S TIPS: No one wants concentrated pesticides, so use only organic lemons for grating fresh rind for zest. To keep the lemon color light resist white sugar and sweeten with liquid clover honey.
