Kaagazi Nimboo, Lemon Plant

The Lemon Plant , also known as Kaagazi Nimboo in Hindi, is a small evergreen tree reaching around 5 feet in height. Its bark changes color from grey on the trunk to green on younger branches and purplish on twigs. These trees bear thorns and produce fruit that changes from green to yellow as it ripens. Interestingly, you can find both flowers and ripe fruits on a Kaagazi Lemon tree simultaneously.

Lemons are widely known for their juice, used in many ways. The fruit’s pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. Lemon juice’s acidity makes it useful for science experiments. Ripe lemons have a bright yellow peel, a layer of pith, and a paler yellow inside with segments. Lemons contain special compounds called flavonoids that act as antioxidants and may fight cancer. Limonins in lemons might help prevent cancer. The flavonoids in citrus can improve blood vessel health, reduce inflammation, and act as a diuretic. Due to its high Vitamin C, lemon is often praised in alternative medicine for its benefits to digestion, the immune system, and skin.
