As the summer season approaches, the importance of lemon increases in all our homes. It is used daily in cold sherbet, lemonade, salad and many other dishes, that is why people often buy more lemons at once and bring them home, but sometimes it happens that within a few days the lemons start drying up and their peel becomes hard. However, by taking a little care and adopting correct storage methods, lemon can be kept fresh and juicy for a long time. Let us know those easy tips.
store in the refrigerator
Keep the lemon in the crisper drawer (vegetable tray) of the refrigerator. This maintains their moisture and they can remain fresh for 2–3 weeks.
Store in an airtight bag or container
Keep the lemon in a zip-lock bag or airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. Due to this, their moisture does not come out and they do not dry quickly.
soak in water
Fill a vessel with water, add lemon to it and keep it in the fridge. In this way the lemons remain juicy for many days.
keep the cut lemon like this
If the lemon has been cut, cover it with plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight box in the refrigerator, so that it does not dry out quickly.
can also be frozen
If there are more lemons, then extract their juice and freeze it in an ice tray. If needed, you can take out the cube and use it. With these small measures, the lemon will remain fresh, soft and full of juice for many days.
