Tips for Selection :

• When selecting lemons, it is important to find one that is rather thin-skinned, heavy for its size and that has a peel with a finely grained texture
• Lemons should be fully yellow with minimal green tinges, which is a sign the fruit will be more acidic
• Watch out for signs of over ripe fruit including wrinkling, soft or hard patches and dull coloring

Nutrition:

• Very low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium
• Very good source of dietary fiber and vitamins C
• Good source of Vitamin B6, iron, and potassium

How to Store :

Lemons will stay fresh for about one week if stored at room temperature and away from exposure to sunlight. If you will not be using them within this time period, you can store them in the refrigerator crisper where they will keep for about four weeks.
