Eating lemons
Yikes, those lemons are pretty sour, which is why they aren’t the most common fruit to eat as a snack. But that should change! By freezing the lemon, it will lose some of its sour taste which will make it much more edible. Plus, the yellow fruit is super healthy! Lemons combat bacteria, parasites and worms, contain substances that will help to prevent cancer, regulate your blood pressure and they’re beneficial against stress and depression.
Lemon peel
When lemons are frozen their taste will change a lot and they’ll be a lot ‘easier’ to eat. The acidity will diminish and only slowly recover once the lemon is thawing. The peel of the lemon is actually the most important part of the fruit: the peel contains 5 to 10 times (1) more vitamins than the juice. Do make sure you wash the lemon before putting it in the freezer!
Lemon zest
Freezing lemons has become common practice in many households. Take your washed lemons out of the freezer when they’re completely frozen. Zest the frozen lemon peel and sprinkle it over salads, noodles, soup, breakfast cereals, glasses of water or over your ice cream. The frozen peel tastes much tastier than the thawed peel.
