This fruit is most often not used immediately. Sometimes the process can take weeks.

There are a few tricks that will help keep lemon juicy and aromatic longer.

The fastest method requires only a tightly sealed container. No air should get in.

If the fruit needs to be preserved for a longer period of time, a different approach will be required.
