Does lemon peel trigger insulin response? I’ve learned recently that lemon peel, pith, and seeds have more vitamins than lemon juice itself. I cut in half and blend together with 8 oz of water. Will this break my fast?
Citrus pith contains hesperidin. I used to see a folk remedy cure for a tea made with peels for high blood pressure knocking about on the internet. I also personally used a grapefruit peel supplement to battle my midday lethargy after eating. The supplement was promoted as a good one for blood sugar issues as it slowed stomach emptying. It seemed to help but I prefer fasting.
