4 Foolproof Tips to Keep Your Lemons Fresh

Squeeze extra lemons and store the juice in an airtight container or ice cube tray in the freezer.

Frozen lemon juice retains flavor and can be easily used in recipes later.

Keep Cut Lemons Airtight

Wrap halved or sliced lemons tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container.

Refrigerate immediately and use within 3–4 days to prevent drying out or mold.

Store Lemons in Water (Optional Method)

Place whole lemons in a jar of water in the fridge for added moisture retention.

This method can help keep lemons fresh for 1–2 weeks longer than refrigeration alone.
