Life Hacks, Featuring Lemons
What can’t lemons do?
Seriously, though. They can pretty much spruce up anything.
GOOD FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
LEMON GOODNESS WITHOUT THE SEEDS.
It’s like, take a vacation day already, lemons. Just kidding. They offer way too much good stuff to leave us hanging – and we’re not just talking vitamin C. Lemons go with pretty much every recipe. You can zest them into desserts. Or squeeze them onto your main course. Or use them as a fancy garnish in a cocktail. The list literally goes on and on. And when you’re done cooking? You can use them to clean up your counters, sink, really anything. We know, crazy!
Oh, and did we mention you can also use them as a healthy alternative for salt?
Okay, okay. We’ll stop there. But we’ll never stop bowing down to the all mighty lemon – that, we can promise you.

THAT S’ALTERNATIVE LIFE
LESS SODIUM, MORE CITRUS.
Here’s an idea: add flavor—not sodium—to your next meal by swapping out salt for lemons. We call it going “S’alternative.” It’s as tasty as it is healthy, not to mention super easy.
Plus, it’s backed by research from master chefs over at Johnson & Wales University (no big deal). By opting for fresh lemon juice and zest in place of some salt, you can cut as much as 75% of sodium from all sorts of recipes, without losing flavor. Nutritional win.
Ready to live that S’alternative life? Here’s a cheat sheet to get you started.
