Lemons, the detail on the peel that few know: better pay attention

Too much spent when you have a wide choice of products available, you risk making a great confusion.

Large-scale distribution often is capable of putting us in serious trouble, all thanks to the doubts and the not very reflective phases of choice. The supermarket, for example, of any brand, genre, location is anything else has the power to act like a fabiesco fife capable of keeping you glued to the wishes of those who sell endless ranks of small consumers. Nothing more true.

How many times have we found ourselves choosingfor example, fruit or vegetables in the supermarket. Our trusted store, the context that in one way or another responds to our needs. Many times you would say no? Well, how many times have doubts literally tormented us about the choice of a particular type of fruit or vegetable rather than another? Also in this case a response would seem more than obvious.

What is capable of confusing us among the shelves of a supermarket that is perhaps not exactly synonymous with quality and also with convenience. Certainly the look of a certain product. What it somehow represents the actual presentation of the product, the business card in short, could easily confuse us and lead us to make gestures which we could then seriously regret. In short, never look at appearances.

By going to supermarkets one often comes into contact with articles whose origin is even unknown. Speaking of lemons, for example, we may have come across in the counters of a supermarket of particular lemons. Generally from Spain or African countries. Yellow, beautiful to the eye in short, but with an absolutely unique peculiarity. The lemons in question they are reported as “inedible”, ie inedible.

Fruit in the supermarket: what we often don’t even imagine what we buy

In the specific case mentioned previously we are dealing with a particular type of lemons whose peel is in fact not edible because it is treated with chemicals of different nature. The result is a perfect fruit, in color, in shape, in short everything, except for what concerns the taste, in fact not everything is edible. Neither the use of the latter for the preparation of a dessert, as is common practice.

The health risks in the case of taking that particular peel they could in fact be very high. Fruit so beautiful to seeperhaps useful to attract the attention of customers but then iedible because full of poisons used to give them that particular shape, that particular color. Overall, therefore, we can safely say that before purchase a particular product it would be right to consult the label first to understand where it comes from and other relevant information.

Read the labels and pay attention to where they come from in short, the product itself. If a certain quality is preferred then it will be appropriate to turn to products grown according to a series of well-defined logics and processes. In short, entering the world of organic farmingpay more, this is true but in the meantime ensure a product of at least excellent workmanship. Organic, Italian products, this could be the right way to avoid finding a dangerous product on the table and among other things not even edible. Few reflections on this, everything seems clear enough.

The large-scale distribution sector it can hide its pitfalls that are often not so hidden. Even the most naive of customers may have problems buying a very yellow lemon, beautiful to the eye but inedible. What sense would that make? In short, all this could lead to think that choosing fruit and vegetables at the supermarket is quite a complex operation. Well, no complex, but not that easy.
