As soon as you buy lemons, they quickly become shriveled and no longer taste good?
With a simple trick from Grandma you can keep lemons fresher for longer.
Lemons – the all-rounders in the household and in the kitchen.
Whether for refining creamy chicken fricassee, for baking juicy lemon cakes or simply as a refreshing component in a classic lemonade - the yellow fruits are true all-rounders.
But who doesn't know it?
As soon as you have bought a supply of lemons, the fruits become shriveled, the juice becomes difficult to squeeze out and, in the worst case, the citrus fruits become moldy.
But don't worry!
With a simple trick from grandma's kitchen, lemons stay fresh for weeks.

By the way: Lemons are not only delicious, they are also real vitamin bombs.
They contain a lot of vitamin C, which is important for our immune system.
Lemons also support digestion and can prevent inflammation.
Don't despair, ask grandma: lemons last much longer this way
With this simple trick from grandma, lemons stay fresh longer.
So you can enjoy the power of the yellow vitamin bombs to the fullest.

Nothing is worse than having to throw away food early because due to improper storage or maybe just bad luck, you have to throw it away before use.
Some products, such as dry, hard bread, can be used for croutons, breadcrumbs, etc., but unfortunately there is no solution for moldy lemons.
Or is it?
The highlight: greaseproof paper!
Yes, you read that right.
The inconspicuous paper that you normally use for sandwiches or a classic chicken club sandwich can work wonders.
Simply wrap each lemon individually in greaseproof paper and store in the refrigerator, because lemons like it dark and cool.
It's that simple.
Why does this trick work?
Grandma's tried and tested storage trick also works for cut lemons.

The greaseproof paper absorbs excess moisture and prevents the lemons from molding or drying out.
At the same time, air circulation is slightly restricted, which means the lemons retain their aroma longer.
Even cut lemons benefit from this method.
Simply cover the cut surface with greaseproof paper and the lemon will keep in the fridge for several days.
