Lemon.
When it comes to these two words, can't you resist your teeth and gulp like me.
Even so, it can't stop my surging love for lemons na.
To some people, lemon may just be an optional accessory, or a decoration on the rim of a glass or plate.
But to me, it's not a running gag, and I wouldn't have ordered those dishes without the lemon!
The food element you can't resist? It's been three installments now, and while we've talked about matcha, cheese, and eggs, this time I've decided to talk about lemons, being a fan of yellow food.It's a must for those of you who are lemon lovers. I've compiled a list of restaurants in Xiamen where you can eat delicious lemons at the end of this article.
Before that, let's get to know it a little better.
For those who love lemon, it seems to have a kind of magic that can make people willingly "fly to the flame": knowing that one bite of it can be so sour that it will make you jump to your feet, but you can't help but want to order anything related to lemon.
Lemon is actually a hybrid, your circle is really messed up ...
You know, in fact, the lemon is a complete hybrid, dad is citron (yuán), mom is a lime, after a beautiful accident, the birth of the lemon this two-pronged, the middle of the drum of the sour boy.
India and China are generally recognized as the old home of the lemon, China's earliest record of lemon is the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, the countrymen at that time almost do not eat it, probably do not know how to plant, so now we still think it is imported.
For a long time, lemons have been obscure, and their popularity came about by accident.
European adventurers in the 18th century were keen seafarers, and crews often suffered from scurvy. When British naval surgeon James Lind tried to treat scurvy for sailors, he accidentally discovered the miraculous effects of lemon juice, which has since been popularized as a representative of vitamin C.
Limes are not unripe yellow lemons!
Embarrassingly, for the longest time in the past, I thought that limes and yellow lemons were one and the same.
However, limes are only a distant relative of yellow lemons, and they have a different appearance, scent and flavor, and even slightly different uses.
Color aside, from the outside, the skin of a lime is thinner and smoother. Although they have similar nutritional content, limes are much more acidic than yellow lemons, so it's rare for people to eat them raw.
As for usage, yellow lemons are more commonly used in Western cuisine, especially continental cuisine.
Lemon juice with all kinds of seafood, not only can remove the fishy, but also can bring out the fresh flavor of seafood.
Another yellow lemon most often plays the role of lemon tea and lemonade, especially by the girls favorite, summer to a glass of chilled lemonade to quench the thirst, but also can play a role in fat loss.
Lime is the beauty of Southeast Asia, the highest rate of appearance in Southeast Asian cuisine.
The Southeast Asian people have a taste for spice and acidity, but instead of using vinegar to get the acidity, they use limes instead.
The sourness of lemon can make the fish deodorized, make the meat soft, and the light aroma will not cover the unique smell of Southeast Asian spices, but to make it more flavorful. It's a perfect partner for Southeast Asian chefs!
Which lemon do I choose?
Because I'm a big lemon lover, I always buy lemons for my water!
However, I often face the problem of picking a lemon, randomly took one, and went back to find that it was not good ...... sad: (
Here is a simple to tell you the two lemon picking steps, the next time you go to buy to remember Oh:
One smell: use the nose to smell carefully, with the fresh lemons The first step is to make sure that you have a good lemon, and the second step is to make sure that you have a good lemon.
The second look: look carefully with the eyes, if the lemon surface has mold, black holes, or dark color dark yellow, is too long lemon, its nutrients will be greatly reduced, this time do not buy it.
Without lemons, I wouldn't have ordered these dishes!
