How to: Lemons - FAQs

How to store lemon?

Lemons can shrivel, go soft and soggy or become hard if not stored correctly. To prevent this, store fruit you plan to use immediately away from direct sunlight and each lemon will usually keep for around a week.

How long do lemons last in the fridge?

Place the lemon you don't intend to use in an airtight bag in the fridge and it will keep for around two weeks. The best fridge temperature for storage is between 4-10ºC – usually on the middle shelves or in the door of the fridge. If the fruit is sliced in half before storing, place the halves on a plate with the exposed side facing downwards.
