You can freeze lemons.

Lemons can be frozen whole or sliced up.

If you freeze the lemons whole simply place the lemons in a Ziploc bag or freezer bag or place the whole lemons in a freezer safe container.

Or you can slice the lemons up and then place them in a plastic container or Ziploc bag or freezer bag.

You'll find many uses for frozen lemons, and you can use nearly every part of the fruit in the process.

Freezing lemons means you'll always have fresh lemon on hand to add zip to dishes and tang to drinks.

People do often use cooked lemon rinds in cakes and muffins but the cooking process can cause the lemon to lose up to 40 per cent of its properties.

Freezing the lemon ensures that that all of the goodness lemons have to offer is conserved, plus lemon ice cubes taste pretty good.

You can also freeze lemon slices to add a spritz of lemon juice to drinks or dishes.

To start, place the cut lemons on a freezer-safe parchment-lined tray and freeze until frozen.
