Lemons are a kitchen essential, used for everything from cooking and baking to cleaning and natural remedies. However, many of us store lemons the wrong way, causing them to spoil too quickly—developing mold, drying out, or becoming mushy.
If your lemons shrivel or rot within just a few days, don’t worry! The mistake is common, but the solution is incredibly simple. With the right storage method, you can keep lemons fresh for weeks—even months!
🍋 The Common Mistake That Ruins Lemons Quickly
Most people store lemons at room temperature in a fruit bowl or leave them in a plastic bag in the fridge. While this may seem convenient, both methods cause lemons to spoil faster due to:
❌ Loss of moisture – Lemons dry out quickly when exposed to air.
❌ Exposure to mold – High humidity can make lemons rot faster.
❌ Wrong temperature – Room temperature speeds up ripening and decay.
❌ Ethylene gas – Lemons stored near other fruits (like apples or bananas) ripen and rot faster due to gas release.
