Plum lemonade

PLUM LEMONADE


I believe it is important to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables because they offer higher nutritional value than  produce which is out of season. Seasonal food is grown using lesser chemicals and pesticides. In times when inflation is at it's peak, buying seasonal produce helps you save money as it is economically priced.



Plums are in season and I am enjoying them with  Plum lemonade which I recently invented. Rather than packed juices and sharbats, welcome your guests with this refreshing plum lemonade.






If you fancy your cheeks glowing and red like plums then you must eat plums! Plums are full of antioxidants which are highly beneficial for the body. Another good nutritional benefit of  plums is that it it loaded with dietary fiber and helps fight constipation. Plums make heart rate moderate and checks blood pressure so it gives you a healthy heart.
