Freeze your excess lemon juice!
My friend brings over fresh lemons from her lemon tree pretty often and they are always delicious. Recently, I juiced and froze a bunch that I knew I couldn’t get through before a 10 day vacation. Now, I have lemon juice cubes that taste just as good as fresh. They also melt quicker than regular ice, so they can be used in cocktails too.
My supermarket had similar gargantuan lemons recently. About as big as a grapefruit, and I only needed one instead of two for the lemonade.
Fruit isn’t sold like that here, but I’m curious. Why not just open the bag and take a lemon?
The bag is meant to be purchased as a unit. If you open the bag, the lemon inside won’t be labeled for individual purchase (no sticker with a code to ring it up at the register), plus now you’ve ruined the bag so nobody else can purchase it.
Ah. That’s a pretty good reason. Thanks.
You need a lowercase lemon.
😂
I lose my absolute shit every time I get the chance to buy a Meyer lemon precisely because they’re small and less likely to go bad before I can use them up
Also I use key limes like regular limes for this reason. I don’t even care that they cost more. Throwing out rotten food annoys me so much that it’s worth it
huh. we have a tree of meyer lemons and they’re just as fucking huge as the ones on the right. also they just kinda hang out on the tree all year until they’re ready to use or fall off. like 6 months from ripe til dead. we are very lucky i don’t know what i’m gonna do when that tree needs replacement
the supplier to my grocery store might be picking them early and having them ripen in transit, or perhaps they just sell a smaller cultivar?
I’m thinking the first. I don’t know how long they last after picking. around here, five minutes.

Lemon party 🎉
The sign is cut off but if it’s referring to the singles they’re sold by each not by weight, so what does it matter?
Because the singles are probably priced like the megalemons they are, and what OP needs is one standard lemon.
edit: That’s not to even mention that those probably won’t fit in a juicer, if that’s what OP is after.
That was $4.99 for the bunch
