Moringa is jam-packed with plenty of nutritional benefits as it includes antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals including Vitamin-A, Vitamin-B1, B2, B3, Vitamin-C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc.
Lemon zest is considered a better source of Vitamin C than lemon juice. It is not only rich in ascorbic acid but at the same time, it is very rich in flavors.
