People have used citrus fruits as a source of medicines for thousands of years, but not in the citrus-flavored foods familiar to us today, like orange juice, key lime pie or lemon slices on slabs of salmon. While we usually consume the flesh and nectar of these succulent fruits as food, herbalists have used the rinds as medicine for numerous maladies throughout history (Mother Earth News).
Citrus peels are packed with immune-boosting vitamin C, bone-building calcium and anti-inflammatory, antioxidant bioflavonoids. The medicinal actions of citrus peels come in part from their primary essential oil, d-limonene. D-limonene has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. D-limonene neutralizes gastric acid and supports normal peristalsis.
Our Lime Elixir is made from freshly zested, certified organic limes and you can taste the freshness. It’s a perfect addition to sparkling water, tea (our favorite with Holy Basil), champagne, white wine and citrus friendly cocktails (try it in a mojito, you won’t regret it).
Lime Elixir may also be used as a culinary flavoring.
