the lemon
This in Marathi is called Idlimbu????
Just recently when had been to Sibsagar Assam, I saw that almost all
houses had a tree of ths plant along with Aamla. In their daily meals they take
a large piece of this lemon either cut round or elongated. They eat it just
like that or with salt.
I know that it is a good source of Vit C, but eating such a big piece
of lemon raw by everybody, without exception was new to me.
Why so much vit C is consumed?
How come every house has there qwn trees of lemon and Aamala?
Can somebody from Asssam on the group explai?
They also presented around a dozen of these lemons to each of us.
I could make two bottles of pickeles of it.
Thanks for sharing
Madhuri

Citrus limon, the lemon, the commonest source of lemon juice, the
fruit characteristically pointed at the tip.
