Lemons are used a lot in the house during summers, but due to drying quickly, it becomes a bit difficult to store them. Sometimes whole lemons get spoiled. But do you know that with a simple trick you can keep your lemon fresh for 3 months? Yes, this method of storing lemon is not only easy, but also effective.
Reason for quick drying of lemon: There are very small holes in the peel of lemon, from which water comes out easily. This is the reason why they start drying quickly and with drying, their taste and fragrance also decreases. Dried lemons shrink and fungus can also grow on them.

To keep lemons fresh for a long time, they should be dipped in water and kept in the fridge. This method not only provides moisture to the lemon but also slows down the process of water coming out of their peels.
