Rip. Pour. Shake. That’s our easy directions.
But you shake and shake… shake and what the heck, this Apple Cider Vinegar will not dissolve all the way!
My bottle looks like a snowglobe! Do I have a bad batch? Am I doing something wrong? That looks weird.
Don’t worry. I am going to let you in on a little Squeeze Dried secret -- our (not so) secret ingredient. LEMON RIND.
Do you mean lemon pulp??
No. LEMON RIND! There are zests of lemon rinds in every serving of Squeeze Dried ACV.
We could have stirred up natural dried lemon powder to achieve the flavor and health benefits. However, the lemon rind offers greater benefits than lemon itself. Lemon peels contain a myriad of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The lemon peel is actually more nutrient rich than the rest of the lemon or juice.
Nutrient | Lemon Peel | Lemon (Without Peel) | Lemon Juice |
Calcium | 134 mg | 26 mg | 6 mg |
Potassium | 160 mg | 138 mg | 103 mg |
Vitamin C | 129 mg | 53 mg | 38.7 mg |
Fiber | 10.6 gm | 2.8 gm | 0.3 gm |
Vitamin A | 50 IU | 22 IU | 6 IU2 |
Lemon rinds are also made up of a nutrient called flavonoids. Flavonoids are metabolites that give plants their color. They improve absorption of vitamin C, anti-inflammation, and a great antioxidant.
The high content of fiber in the lemon rind helps prevent constipation, ulcers, and acid reflux. Additionally, fiber can promote a balanced body weight and lower the risk for diabetes.
Now you know, the lemon rind has is high content of nutrients and is more beneficial than the lemon itself. Next time you sip on your Squeeze Dried ACV, take a look at your sparkling ACV and glistening lemon rinds.
*Tip: some people like to leave the lemon rind for the last gulp for explosive flavor. Shake as you drink and you can get a perfect ratio lemon rind to water. Also leaving it in your water longer causes the lemon rind to expand slightly creating a smooth texture… you decide!
