Instructions
Never store this fruit next to ethylene producing fruits such as apples and bananas as this may speed up the ripening of the lemons and other citrus
Pick good lemons that are bright in color and are at the right stage of ripeness to suit your needs
As a rule of thumb don’t purchase citrus fruits with dark spots or soft spots
Always get rid of fruits that have signs of spoilage, so they don’t rot your other citrus fruits
Use lemons up by making fresh lemon water
