How to choose fresh, juicy lemons
- When buying lemons, you should pay attention to the color of the lemon peel; bright, uniform yellow or green, with smooth and shiny skin indicates fresh and juicy lemons.
- You can smell the aroma of the lemon; if the lemon has a light, pleasant fragrance, it is still fresh. If the scent is too strong or unpleasant, it means the lemon is spoiled or has been treated with chemicals.
- When holding a lemon in your hand, if it feels heavy, it means the lemon is full of juice, so you should buy it. A light or very small lemon may not be ripe, may not have much juice, and the juice will taste bitter.
- You should not buy lemons that are dull yellow, have rough skin, or show black spots on the skin.
