-
Storage: Store lemons at room temperature for up to one week. If you anticipate not using them within that time frame, refrigerate them in a plastic bag to maintain freshness for up to a month.
-
Washing: Before use, rinse lemons under cool water to remove any dirt or debris from the peel. If you plan to zest or use the peel, consider using a produce brush for a thorough clean.
-
Cutting: When cutting lemons, use a clean knife and cutting board to prevent cross-contamination. Slice the lemon vertically or horizontally as desired. If juicing, cutting the lemon in half makes it easier to extract the juice.
-
Juicing: To extract juice from lemons, roll them firmly on a countertop before cutting. This helps to break down the pulp and make juicing easier. You can use a citrus juicer or simply squeeze the lemon halves by hand or with a fork.
-
Zesting: If you need lemon zest for recipes or garnish, use a zester, microplane, or fine grater to remove the outer yellow zest. Avoid grating into the bitter white pith beneath the zest.
-
Preservation: If you have excess lemon juice, you can freeze it in ice cube trays for later use. Lemon zest can also be frozen in an airtight container for several months.
-
Uses: Lemons are versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. They add brightness to salads, seafood, marinades, desserts, and beverages. Additionally, lemon slices can be used to garnish cocktails, water, or tea for a refreshing twist.
-
Composting: After using lemons, consider composting the peels. They are rich in nutrients and will help enrich your compost pile, contributing to healthier soil for future plant growth.
- By following these handling and care directions, you can maximize the freshness and flavor of your lemons while minimizing waste. Enjoy the zesty goodness of this citrus fruit in your culinary creations!
