5 Effective Ways To Keep Lemons Fresh For Long

By Aanchal Mathur

Lemons are acidic in nature and have a short shelf life if not stored correctly. Here are some interesting ways to store and keep them fresh for long. 

Seal Them

Placing lemons in a sealed zip-lock bag while preventing air from entering the bag helps the lemons retain their juice and flavour for a longer period of time. 

Wrap In Aluminium Foil

Wrapping each lemon individually in aluminum foil prevents moisture from escaping which helps to maintain the lemons' natural moisture content, prevent them from drying and becoming hard. 

Lemon Juice

Simply extract the entire lemon juice and store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Lemon juice keeps better and lasts longer, especially when sugar is added to it. 

Dip In Water

Place all the lemons in the jar filled with water and keep it in the refrigerator. This will keep them fresh and juicy for days

Plastic Container

Plastic wrap can also be an effective method. Simply wrap up the lemons in plastic wrap and put them in an air-tight container and store it in the refrigerator.
