How to choose fresh, juicy lemons
- Try smelling the lemon; if it has the light, natural scent of a lemon tree, it’s fresh. If the lemon has a strong, unpleasant odor, it may contain chemicals, sprayed with pesticides that haven’t dissipated before being sold.
- Lemons with smooth, shiny skin that are plump will have a higher vitamin content than others.
- Instead of choosing large lemons, opt for medium-sized ones that feel heavy; heavier lemons will contain more juice, be fresher, and of better quality.
