Tips and Tricks

lemons
  1. Lemons will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to six weeks and at room temperature for two weeks.
  2. The juice from a lemon keeps bananas, apples, avocados and other fresh fruit from turning dark for hours!
  3. Need buttermilk and don’t have any? If you have a lemon, you can make your own! Add one tablespoon of lemon juice with enough milk to make one cup. Let stand for 5 minutes. You’ve got buttermilk!
  4. Whole lemons in bowls look and smell wonderful! Put them in your kitchen, your dining room or even in the bathroom! I guess they don’t make lemon scented cleaning products for nothing!
  5. Cut down on the amount of salt used on your food by adding lime instead to enhance the flavor of the food.
  6. Do not use aluminum pans when cooking with limes because the acid in the limes reacts with the aluminum and affect the flavor and color of the food.
