💡 What's interesting
Culturally, it's a staple of summer and a classic example of a 'pantry shortcut' that allows for fresh-tasting beverages year-round. Nutritionally, while it offers some fruit-derived vitamins, its primary role is as a flavor and sugar source, making it a treat rather than a nutrient-dense food.
