Lemonade Sorbet

Hello Everyone,

Right before

Thanksgiving I got to take an AWESOME

trip to Las Vegas for a meeting

(courtesy of Vitamix) and I sat beside

another demonstrator on the plane (the

leg from Atlanta to Las Vegas). She

shared with me her favorite sorbet - the

one she uses in her demonstrations.

SPINACH

SORBET:

1

banana

1/2

lemon (with seeds and peel, cut off

thick rind on end)

1 cup

of raw spinach

1/2

avacado peeled

1/4 c

*sweetener

1/2 - 2

cups of ice (start with small

amounts, increase as you go to make

thicker)

Blend

on high for 60 to 90 seconds

She says it is a

smashing hit every time. I'll be making

it tonight to see how my picky eaters

like it!

Blessings,

Lea

I always thought the bitterness was in the white part (pith) between

the yellow peel and the lemon flesh. And with the oil in the yellow

peel, you could, I guess, use a peeler to remove the yellow part,

drop in the VM, and then remove the white and discard, before

putting the flesh in the VM. Has anyone tried that?

That all said, I do use a slice (quarter inch maybe or a little

more) of the whole lemon in my smoothies sometimes and don't notice

any bitter from that unless I try to store some of the smoothie in

the fridge over night.

I wonder if you could just use the zest of the lemon instead of the whole peel to add the lemony flavour without the bitterness, as well as getting the benefits of the oil?

November 30, 2011

Hi Velda,In my shows I use lemon wedges with the peel in my tortilla soup. When people ask about the peel I've always said, if it is just a very small slice you can leave the peel in, but anytime a recipe calls for a quarter (or more) of a lemon, I always peel it. Of the 3 citrus peels (lemon, lime and orange) lemon is the one that is least offensive (bitter) if eaten, but it is still bitter. This recipe was from another demonstrator and she loves it, so I thought that there must be something special about her ingredients that overcame the bitterness factor of the lemon (especially since lemon is the milder of the citrus peels) but my taste test proved (to me at least) that it was too much!The thought that the pith is the most bitter part is a common one. I think it comes from the fact that zest is used in recipes, so the idea must be that the zest mustn't be the bitter part, but all you have to do is cut off a piece of white pith, then cut off a small piece of zest and do a side-by-side taste test to see that the zest is bitter and the white pith, not as bitter. The zest has the citrus oil in it and the oils are bitter. This is why ALL recipes that call for citrus zest also call for sugar (to balance the bitter!)Also, the pith has the most of the bioflavanoids. Bioflavanoids help make the vitamin C available for absorption in your body, so consuming the pith is a good thing! Here is a paragraph from http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice & dbid=37 about the pith in oranges:But it is yet another flavanone in oranges, the herperidinmolecule, which has been singled out in phytonutrient research on oranges. Arguably, the most important flavanone in oranges,herperidin has been shown to lower high blood pressure as well as cholesterol in animal studies, and to have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Importantly, most of this phytonutrient is found in the peel and inner white pulp of the orange, rather than in its liquid orange center, so this beneficial compound is too often removed by the processing of oranges into juice.FYI - In a smoothie - if the peel is removed, the citrus seeds and pith will not be excessively bitter IF the smoothie is consumed right away. If stored, however, the bitterness in a smoothie containing citrus seeds and/or pith will progressively increase.Another FYI - the pure orange oil in the skin is an excellent degreaser. A bottle of pure orange oil is very expensive, but nice to have on hand. But if you don't have a bottle, and you want to get a small sticker removed, you can take orange peel and bend it so that the orange oil beads up on the skin and wipe this off with a q-tip or just rub it directly onto the sticker, you can melt that gummy stuff right off! I've also used orange peels as a scrubber to get the grimy dirt off of the handles of the refrigerator (or anywhere that human hand oils collect those ugly brown smudges like at light switches and on phone handles). I just rub the colored part of the orange skin onto the grimy area, rubbing the orange peel into it (the area turns orangish with orange peel residue) then I wipe it all off with a wet sponge and voila - it works as well or better than nasty chemical de-greasers!

I messed up - it should have read, "I made it both ways and the one with the lemon peel did not taste anywhere near as good as the one WITHOUT the peel."

That is interesting. I do use the whole lemon in slices in

smoothies, and never gave all of this much thought.

Hi Velda,

In my shows I use lemon wedges with the peel in my tortilla soup.

When people ask about the peel I've always said, if it is just a

very small slice you can leave the peel in, but anytime a recipe

calls for a quarter (or more) of a lemon, I always peel it. Of

the 3 citrus peels (lemon, lime and orange) lemon is the one that

is least offensive (bitter) if eaten, but it is still bitter.

This recipe was from another demonstrator and she loves it, so I

thought that there must be something special about her ingredients

that overcame the bitterness factor of the lemon (especially since

lemon is the milder of the citrus peels) but my taste test proved

(to me at least) that it was too much!

The thought that the pith is the most bitter part is a common

one. I think it comes from the fact that zest is used in

recipes, so the idea must be that the zest mustn't be the bitter

part, but all you have to do is cut off a piece of white pith,

then cut off a small piece of zest and do a side-by-side taste

test to see that the zest is bitter and the white pith, not as

bitter. The zest has the citrus oil in it and the oils are

bitter. This is why ALL recipes that call for citrus zest also

call for sugar (to balance the bitter!)

Also, the pith has the most of the bioflavanoids.

Bioflavanoids help make the vitamin C available for absorption

in your body, so consuming the pith is a good thing! Here is a

paragraph from http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice & dbid=37 about

the pith in oranges:

But it is yet

another flavanone in oranges, the herperidinmolecule,

which has been singled out in phytonutrient research on

oranges. Arguably, the most important flavanone in

oranges,herperidin has been shown to lower high blood

pressure as well as cholesterol in animal studies, and to have

strong anti-inflammatory properties. Importantly, most of this

phytonutrient is found in the peel and inner white pulp of the

orange, rather than in its liquid orange center, so this

beneficial compound is too often removed by the processing of

oranges into juice.

FYI - In a smoothie - if the peel is removed, the citrus

seeds and pith will not be excessively bitter IF the smoothie is

consumed right away. If stored, however, the bitterness in a

smoothie containing citrus seeds and/or pith will progressively

increase.

Another FYI - the pure orange oil in the skin is an excellent

degreaser. A bottle of pure orange oil is very expensive, but

nice to have on hand. But if you don't have a bottle, and you

want to get a small sticker removed, you can take orange peel

and bend it so that the orange oil beads up on the skin and wipe

this off with a q-tip or just rub it directly onto the sticker,

you can melt that gummy stuff right off! I've also used orange

peels as a scrubber to get the grimy dirt off of the handles of

the refrigerator (or anywhere that human hand oils collect those

ugly brown smudges like at light switches and on phone handles).

I just rub the colored part of the orange skin onto the grimy

area, rubbing the orange peel into it (the area turns orangish

with orange peel residue) then I wipe it all off with a wet

sponge and voila - it works as well or better than nasty

chemical de-greasers!

I always thought the bitterness was in the white part

(pith) between the yellow peel and the lemon flesh. And

with the oil in the yellow peel, you could, I guess, use

a peeler to remove the yellow part, drop in the VM, and

then remove the white and discard, before putting the

flesh in the VM. Has anyone tried that?

That all said, I do use a slice (quarter inch maybe or a

little more) of the whole lemon in my smoothies

sometimes and don't notice any bitter from that unless I

try to store some of the smoothie in the fridge over

night.
