The art of reconstituting your lemon
Here’s a little-known but frighteningly effective pro trick. After using half a lemon, do not let the rest dry out. Assemble the two pieces together with toothpicks to reshape the fruit, then wrap them in eco-friendly plastic wrap or place them in a small container. With this method, the natural moisture of the lemon is retained much longer than in the fresh air. A real revolution in your fridge!
The magic of cold water
Against all odds, water is the best ally to keep lemons fresh. Dip your whole or sliced fruit in a glass container filled with cold water and place it in the refrigerator. This technique retains its juiciness as on the first day. Don’t forget to top up the water regularly for best results.
