News Topical, Digital Desk : Some people like to eat dal plain, while there are some people for whom the taste of dal is incomplete until a few drops of lemon are squeezed on it. Yes, adding lemon doubles the taste of dal, but have you ever thought that the lemon which you think enhances the taste of dal, is not the root of 'trouble' for your health?
Is the little lemon, which gives a new taste to your dal, really as simple as it seems (Is Lemon In Dal Bad For Health)? Let's get to the bottom of this question today and find out how beneficial or harmful squeezing lemon in dal can really be.
Taste and digestion
Lemon juice adds a sour taste to dal, which some people like very much. It enhances the taste of dal and makes it even more delicious. But lemon contains citric acid, which can cause digestive problems for some people. For people who complain of acidity, gas, or heartburn , adding lemon juice to dal can aggravate these problems.
impact on nutrients
Lemon juice can also affect the absorption of some nutrients present in lentils. For example, lentils contain iron, and the vitamin C present in lemon helps in the absorption of iron. In this regard, lemon juice can be good with lentils.
However, some research also suggests that highly acidic substances can react with certain nutrients, but generally, adding a small amount of lemon juice to lentils does not have any significant negative effect on its nutritional value.
Keep in mind, sour foods may be good for some people, while for others they can increase pitta, causing problems like acidity and heartburn. If you often suffer from stomach problems, you should think a little before adding lemon juice to lentils.
What to do?
If you like lemon juice in dal and you do not have any digestive problems, then you can consume it, but if you have acidity or other stomach problems, it is better to avoid adding lemon juice to dal or use very little of it. Listen to your body and see if you have any problem with adding lemon juice.
