4. Wrap Cut Lemons Properly

Once cut, lemons dry out fast. But with the right wrapping, you can keep them fresh and juicy for days.

🟡 Best method:

  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge

🥄 Even better: Place the cut side down on a small plate and cover — this reduces exposure to air and keeps the inside moist.

Bonus Tip: Avoid Moisture Buildup

Too much moisture can lead to mold. If storing lemons in a bag or container, make sure they’re dry before storing and include a paper towel to absorb excess humidity.

🍋 In Summary:
