Health benefits
- Lemon is a very good source of Vitamin C and thus helps in the production of white blood cells and antibodies in the blood which attacks invading microorganisms, prevents infection, and builds immunity.
- Therefore, Lemon juice is given to prevent the common cold. The ascorbic acid in lemon juice helps in the absorption of iron from the food. So if you�re iron deficient or have anemia squeeze a lemon on iron-rich recipes.
- It is prepared by mixing cooked rice with a special seasoning called Oggarane or Gojju. Characteristic for the seasoning are mustard seeds, fried lentils, peanuts, curry leaves, chilies, lemon juice, and other optional items such as scrapes of unripe mango. Added Turmeric powder gives Chitranna its yellow color. Garlic and onions are also used in the seasoning by some, although traditionally they do not form part of the recipe.
