Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming lemon.
- Look for lemons with bright yellow skin with no green spots or blemishes. You should be able to feel the weight of the lemon in your hand—a heavier lemon is juicier than a lighter one.
- Go for organic. Organic lemons are grown without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, which means they’re better for you and the environment. Plus, they’re free from preservatives and other additives that can affect their flavor.
- Avoid lemons with a greenish tinge, as this means they are overripe.
- Keep your lemons at room temperature in a cool, dry place. If you want to keep them longer, store them in the fridge (but know that they’ll get mushy if left there for too long).
- Lemon juice adds great flavor when added to sauces and beverages. Try adding it to your favorite marinades or dressings for an extra zesty kick.
