Keep Lemons Fresh With A Toothpick
Lemons are an excellent flavor addition to a variety of foods and beverages. They don’t, however, endure long before becoming mushy or hard as rocks. Fortunately, there’s a simple technique for us not to miss out on lemons and keep them fresh.

Simply reconnect the ends with toothpicks and store them in water as you would with any other pickle. They’ll keep for many weeks like this, so they’re always ready when you need them—no more wasting money or allowing food to go bad because it’s not convenient.
