News India Live, Digital Desk: Lemon has a special place in the Indian kitchen. It not only enhances the taste of food and syrup, but is also used in many domestic work. Lemon contains nutrients such as potassium, iron, vitamin B6, vitamin C and antioxidants, which are very beneficial for health. However, the lemon dries quickly or their juice ends. Therefore, it is necessary to store them properly.
How to choose good lemon? It is important to pay attention to its quality while purchasing lemon. Good lemon should be light green, neither dark green nor yellow. They should be normal size, rigid, and heavy in weight. The peel should be shiny and free from stains. Such lemons are perfect to store for a long time.
The right way to store lemon:
- Take water in a large pot and add 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar according to the water.
- Soak the lemon in this mixture for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the lemon and wipe it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
- Now keep these lemons in light sunlight for about 15 minutes so that all the moisture is over.
- After this, apply a little cooking oil on the lemon. This creates a protective layer on the surface of the lemon.
- Now place the lemon in airtight glass container and store it in the fridge.
These lemon will be easily fresh for 1-2 months when storing in the fridge. If you keep them in the freezer, then they will not be spoiled for 4-5 months.
How does this method of store work? Washing Vinegar with water ends the bacteria on the lemon. Cooking oil layer does not allow bacteria to flourish on lemon. To use, keep the lemon in warm water (lukewarm, boiling) for 10 minutes so that it becomes soft, then remove and use it.
