Nutritional values

An exotic side dish with few calories and not a gram of fat, but the yellow fruits are rich in vitamin C: it strengthens the body's own defences and is involved in building connective and supporting tissue.

The pickled lemons go wonderfully with grilled meat or fish and with stews. Then please use salt sparingly, because the lemons already taste very salty.
