My Original Tip for Storing a Cut Lemon Longer.

Are you tired of watching your lemon shrivel up in your fridge when you don't use it fully? With this trick to better preserve them, no more waste!

If you're used to using fresh lemon, but never finish it, you'll love this trick that allows you to save your lemon halves without them drying out in the bottom of the fridge.

To preserve all the freshness of your lemon cut in half, just put it on a plate, face down. The pulp, kept against the plate, will not be able to dry out and your lemon will be reusable for several more days.

And you, what is your technique for keeping lemons longer? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

Savings Achieved

With this little trick, you will no longer have any qualms about using only half a lemon. And no more mess!
