The trick to storing lemons for 3 months or more and keeping them from rotting
If you have cut lemons, you should know that you can also save them. Simply cover the cut part with cling film to protect it from air and prevent oxidation and store it in the fridge. This will keep your cut lemons fresh for a long time. However, it is advisable to consume lemons, preferably 2 or 3 days after cutting them.
Please note that lemon does not freeze. On the other hand, you can freeze the juice or the peel. In fact, it is possible to fill the ice cube tray with lemon juice to keep it fresh. When the juice cubes freeze, remove them and store them in a freezer bag that you will place in the freezer. As for the lemon zest, take it out with a grater and place it in an airtight freezer bag and store it in the freezer .
With these simple steps, you can keep your lemons, juice and zest fresh for at least a month. You will thus benefit from the benefits of this citrus fruit, which adds a tangy flavour to dishes and also perfumes the house.
