How to choose fresh lemons

1. Look at the skin: the skin is firm and shiny. High-quality lemon looks medium-sized, oval, with protruding ends and slightly pointed, like a football. The ripe peel is bright yellow, but the green lemon under the stem is very fresh, and the green lemon is generally not sprinkled with preservatives, so the fresh-keeping time of the green lemon is longer than that of the yellow lemon. However, when people choose lemons, they prefer yellow ones and think that yellow is beautiful and delicious. In fact, it is best to eat yellow lemon as soon as possible, otherwise it is better to choose green. 2. Look at the feel: the player feels heavier, the smooth and thin skin is better, and the weight is heavy enough to indicate that there are more juices. 3. Smell the smell: Mature lemons will give off a strong fragrance. Lemon can't be eaten with the following foods: 1. Lemon should not be eaten with seafood. Seafood such as shrimp, crab, sea cucumber and jellyfish are rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium, and lemon is rich in fruit acid. If lemon and seafood are eaten at the same time, the fruit acid in lemon will solidify protein and combine with calcium to produce indigestible substances, which will not only reduce the nutritional value of food, but also cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so try to avoid eating lemon and seafood together. Lemon and milk are compatible. Milk is rich in protein and calcium. Eating lemon and milk together will also affect the digestion of the stomach. Lemons should not be eaten with carrots. Because carrots contain ascorbase, eating them together will destroy vitamin C in lemons. 1. Smell the scent When choosing lemons, you need to smell the scent of lemons first. Generally speaking, fresh lemon has a unique fragrance and tastes sweet and sour, but stale lemon smells like rotten fruit, which is not only not so juicy, but also a little bitter. This is the most intuitive way for us to choose lemon. 2. Observe the appearance. Fresh lemons are bright in color, bright yellow and even in color, not yellow-green. The nodes above are green. They are initially connected to the tree. When it is removed, it usually leaves a small green top. If the knot on it is brown, it proves that this lemon is not fresh; The overall round shape will be less sour, but the juice will be more; Sharp ones will be sour, but there will be less juice. 3. Squeeze hard to soften. If you find that lemon is thick, hard and sour, soft is not so sour, but don't buy soft, not fresh. This is also a method you can try when choosing lemons.
