How to Choose Fresh Lemons
- Choose lemons that are medium-sized but feel heavy for their size. Look for smooth, shiny skin without bumps or blemishes.
- Select bright green lemons with thin skin that appear fresh and free of mold.
- Avoid dark green, dry, soft, or spotted lemons. These are usually older and may have a bitter taste.
