Originating in southern Italy, lemons contain pectin fibers, which lower blood sugar levels. Cardioprotective, Sicilian lemon has a large amount of vitamin C, potassium and vitamin b6, which helps in the production of energy for the body. It fights anemia and prevents the formation of kidney stones through citric acid, and improves digestion through carbohydrates in the form of soluble fiber.
