IMMUNE BOOSTING SHIKUWASA LIME POWDER THREE WAYS
POWER YOUR DAY WITH THIS VERSATILE CITRUS SUPERFOOD THAT SUPPORTS THE BODY
Shikuwasa lime may be tiny in size, but it sure is mighty. Typically measuring just over an inch in diameter, Shikuwasa lime is a small green superfood that is found only in Okinawa and has long been touted for its big health benefits. This anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting citrus fruit is especially rich in antioxidants like nobiletin, which has anti-aging properties and works to prevent cellular damage, lessen the risks of cancer and heart disease, and can even provide neuroprotective effects.
With a taste profile that runs both sour and sweet, Shikuwasa lime is a versatile ingredient that—similar to other citrus fruits like lemons and oranges—can be enjoyed in a variety of meals and drinks and is particularly beneficial when consumed first thing in the morning. Wellness East’s Shikuwasa Lime Powder was made to be a multipurpose ingredient and can easily be added to things like teas, smoothies, puddings, and more.
Below, we have put together three simple recipes that provide you with the maximum benefits of consuming Shikuwasa lime in the mornings.
