Lemons
- Buy medium sized lemons. They generally have a good quantity of juice.
- They should be yellow with a greenish tinch. This would increase the quantity of juice and also increase the shelf life. As, the totally green ones don't have much juice, while the yellow ones have a short shelf life.
- The presence of a unique but natural smooth and shiny skin indicates it's freshness.
- Those having thin peels, have more juice and are usually known as 'कागजी नींबू'. They are best for pickles, too.
- Before taking out their juice, roll them on the platform while applying a little pressure by your palm.
- Don't leave lemons after extracting a little juice from it. This will make it a bit bitter. So, if the whole is not required cut out the part which is required and then squeeze it out.
- Don't use the technique of pricking the lemon with the toothpick if you're not going to use the whole lemon's juice. This will make the rest bitter.
