Selection Tips:
- Shine: Choose lemons with a glossy skin, as they are fresher and juicier; dull and matte lemons are older.
- Color: Opt for lemons that are green with yellow tinges. You can also check the lemon’s stem; green color indicates freshness.
- Texture: Lemons do have a kind of elasticity. Gently squeeze the lemon; a fresh lemon will be slightly soft and elastic. If it feels hard and dry, it’s not fresh.
- Weight: Compare two lemons of similar size by holding them; the heavier one will be juicier and fuller.
- Aroma: The stronger the aroma, the better the lemon. Lightly scrape the tip to smell the fragrance.
Recommendation: Buy small-mouth fruit frozen seeded lemons, so you can enjoy them whenever you want!
At Room Temperature: If you store lemons in a well-ventilated, cool place, such as a fruit basket on your dining table, they can be kept for 5-7 days.
In the Refrigerator: For longer storage, once the lemons are dry, place them in a plastic bag, seal it, and store it in the refrigerator. This can keep the lemons fresh for 1-2 weeks.
