The demand for lemons increases many times in autumn and winter. Having bought the fruit, you need to be able to preserve it.
The problem is that lemons can dry out and become moldy even in the refrigerator. When cut, the fruit can absorb foreign odors.
The housewives were told how to properly store citrus fruits so that they stay fresh for a long time.
Where to store
The best place is in the refrigerator. Here, the whole fruit can last for more than a month, if you maintain a constant temperature of no more than +5 degrees Celsius.
At room temperature, the citrus fruit will last a maximum of two weeks. The higher the room temperature, the more actively the fruit dries.
How to store in the refrigerator
Ideal storage conditions are in a paper bag. This way the fruit does not lose moisture and does not absorb foreign odors.
How to Store a Cut Lemon
If you put the sliced pieces in the refrigerator simply on a saucer, they will dry out in one or two days and lose all their aroma.
You can store sliced lemon in a container for up to 2 weeks. But the lid should close tightly. You can wrap the saucer with cling film.
The longest time to store sliced lemon is to sprinkle it with sugar and store it in a glass jar with a lid.
