A Look at the Lemon Bubblegum Strain

Lemon is a very sweet tasting fruit, so what is it about this chewable wonder that makes it so popular? For a long time it was thought that the properties in the flesh of the lemon helped to produce the high amount of acidity in jams and jellies. The idea was that the substance provided a sharpening or breaking action on the flavor of the product. It was even claimed that lemons actually helped improve the flavor of wine. There are still a number of theories revolving around this phenomenon.

But one school of thought suggests that it has to do with the way lemons “smell”. This may have something to do with the fact that lemons contain boron which neutralizes acid. Many wine makers mix a small amount of boron with their grape juice to create an optimum taste for red wine. Another theory is that the acidity in the lemon helps produce a flavor in the wine. At any rate, the fact remains that it was a favorite of many connoisseurs.

As its popularity grew, lemons became available for purchase in bottles. This new product was greeted with great delight by people who had always longed for the taste. Now there were ways to experience the real lemon flavor. One could squeeze a lemon to enjoy the tart taste of tartness. Or, some favored the old fashioned method of squeezing the lemon directly from the lemon. Either way the new lemon drink was on its way to becoming a popular drink.

Lemon juice was not only used as a flavoring agent, but was also used to help relieve toothache and provide relief to individuals suffering from colds and flu. In addition to the use of lemon juice as a flavoring agent, the pulp of fresh lemons was used as a mouth wash. Rubbing the skin of the lemon with the juice was a common childhood practice. Today this same practice is still commonly followed.

Lemon juice has always been known to have some amazing healing properties. During the Middle Ages doctors were very fond of using it for treating various conditions. Lemon juice could relieve fevers, as well as treat skin disorders and was even used to help speed healing of cuts and sores. Lemon juice, mixed with rose water, has proven to be an excellent topical antibiotic. And in spite of what was believed in the past, it is now known that lemon juice can be used as a cough suppressant.

Lemonade was once viewed as a healthier drink than coffee or tea. While it still has that distinction today, it is no longer considered to be healthier than soda pop. Soda pop contains carbonation, which can dehydrate the body. Lemonade contains natural sugars that provide electrolytes without dehydrating the body. Because of this benefit, it has been replaced by lemon juice as a beverage of choice.

Another reason lemonade is becoming a favorite of athletes is because of its amazing taste. Unlike most chewing gum, the taste of the lemonade is not overwhelming. It has a slightly acidic flavor, which appeals to many people. This means it is a great alternative if you do not like the taste of strong flavored gum. You can enjoy the refreshing flavor of the lemon juice and it does not take much to prepare a tasty little shake or mixture.

Lemonade has a wide variety of health benefits. Athletes have discovered that it can help speed recovery. People who suffer from digestive problems can benefit from it, as well as anyone trying to lose weight. If you enjoy eating gum, you should try lemonade, which is not only tasty but also healthy.
