Cooking Tips: Choosing and storing lemons

Be sure to buy firm, heavy, deep yellow lemons with fine-textured skin. Avoid coarse skin and light weight.

You may store lemons in the refrigerator uncovered up to 6 weeks; not touching each other.

When cut, the unused portion should be wrapped with plastic wrap on the cut edge.
