4. Wrap Cut Lemons Properly
Once cut, lemons dry out fast. But with the right wrapping, you can keep them fresh and juicy for days.
🟡 Best method:
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge
Bonus Tip: Avoid Moisture Buildup
Too much moisture can lead to mold. If storing lemons in a bag or container, make sure they’re dry before storing and include a paper towel to absorb excess humidity.
🍋 In Summary:
| Tip | Result |

| Freeze juice/zest | No waste, always on hand |
| Wrap cut lemons | Keeps them usable for 3–5 days |
By following these tips, you’ll save money, reduce food waste, and always have fresh, zesty lemons ready to brighten your dishes.
