I’m getting into the habit of making oleo saccharum with any leftover citrus. Throw it in a jar with a bunch of sugar on it, and tomorrow you have syrup.
But the mold, it’s just reaching the age of enlightenment.
No.
Lemons were used to ward off scurvy on months long voyages without refrigeration. I think half a lemon can survive a week in my fridge before I turn it into a Tom Collins.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but if you cut it in half it loses a lot of its protection from the outside world.
So half an onion is gtg
Good to go in the bin, yes
No one leaves half an onion. You just put it in your food. More onion always means more good.
Don’t save them, do that thing where you blend them up with condensed milk and ice.
What you talking about

That with lemons
Wow that looks pretty good, toss in some cachaça and here we go
LPT you can freeze lemons. The texture might change, but you can still use it in some cooking applications and juicing it will still be fine. (After defrosting of course)
If I have too many lemons I’ll squeeze them into ice cube trays and store the cubes in a freezer bag
Or just buy concentrate from start.
This is a much better idea than keeping the juice inside the lemons, as they tend to mix with juices from other parts of the lemon and change consistency.
What other parts of the lemon have juice?
The peel area, which tends to become bitter if kept for long in the fridge.
I’m just speculating now, but it might be having reactions with other cells in the lemon, causing the taste to change.The only thing that is for sure is that the test of the juice drastically changes if kept for long (even if in the fridge), whereas it doesn’t, if squeezed out beforehand and then kept in another container, in the fridge.
Ummm, acktually, it was on my kitchen counter, and I threw it away like half a day ago.
In my house it’s a quarter bottle of lemon juice that’s been in there for like 6 months. I haven’t thrown it out because it hasn’t actually expired yet lol
No way! I’ve just put a new one there yesterday (or was it the day before?)
But only the oldest one, right? Not two newer half lemons
Why do you have two half lemons? Did you just use the skin?
That or, and this is far more likely, I missed that I already had a half lemon when I needed one.
The peel? Rind?
Why does “Lemon Skin” freak me out so much?
Lemons are people too…
UNACCEPTABLE!
I feel called out… Thank you, though
Hey man. I could totally use that for…some lemonade I could maybe make maybe.
Or just buy one of these instead of buying the lemon. It lasts I don’t know how long, but a very long time.
The zest from those sucks! XD
This is the first time I’ve seen downvotes for something where someone is just giving an innocuous opinion. This says to me that Lemmy has foodies
I’m amused, to be honest.
It just reminds me of this image:
Or they have access to a lemon tree
I really wish I had a lemon tree!! I love lemons…not even just putting them in anything, but eating them plain. But then if I had a lemon tree I probably wouldn’t have any teeth left from eating too many lol.
For thousands of years!
Is that one they found in an Egyptian tomb still usable on white fish?
but my mom says it helps against the bad smell
