How to choose fresh lemons
- Choose lemons that are medium-sized, have stems, feel heavy in hand, and have a bright color; these lemons usually contain more juice and are of better quality compared to larger but lighter lemons.
- Observe the lemon peel: The peel should be smooth and not lumpy. Such lemons typically have higher nutritional quality compared to those with rough skin. When buying, avoid lemons with dull green peels or those that show pale yellow spots. They may have been harvested long ago and are no longer fresh.
- Avoid lemons with a rancid smell: Fruits and vegetables with a rancid or unpleasant smell are at a high risk of being sprayed with pesticides. Therefore, if you notice any lemon or other fruits and vegetables with an unusual smell, you should absolutely not buy them.
