If you want your lemons to keep their flavour and freshness, you need to know how to store them properly. Find out how to keep these tangy citrus fruits fresher for longer, from storage advice to tricks for keeping them juicy.
If you plan to use lemons within a week, store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
For longer storage, place lemons in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container and refrigerate them. Avoid keeping them in the crisper drawer, as the humidity can cause spoilage.
Only cut the lemon when you're ready to use it, as cut lemons tend to dry out quickly.
To preserve lemon juice or zest, freeze them in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe container or bag.
