Salted Preserved Lemons are the lemons that have been pickled in salt for about a week or more.

They are common in Indian and North African (Moroccan) cuisine. It is much talked about in Japan on TV and magazines recently, so I am sharing this idea 🙂

The flavor is mildly sour, and of course very salty. Thus, the juice and the peels can be used as a salt seasoning (substitute). However, peels are intensively salty, so I personally don’t recommend using it. hehe

These are some good effects that you can expect from Salted Preserved Lemons:
– cut down salt intake (prevents swelling)
– citric acid will help carbohydrate metabolism (beauty effect)
– rich in Vitamin C (beauty effect)
