10 genius reasons why you should keep lemons in the freezer

The massive amount of Vitamin C found in lemons is essential for producing collagen, which helps our bodies to form new bone, blood vessels, and tendons, and repair wounds.

Some people don’t like the flavor of lemons, or find them too sour, and that’s okay. By freezing and grating them, you’ll find it easier to incorporate lemon into your meals without packing a huge flavor punch (unless you want to!).

For instance, cooking lemon reduces some of the Vitamin C, so try sprinkling the frozen lemon into soups, salad dressings, and onto noodles and rice dishes. You can even sprinkle the grated lemon onto fruit salad with yogurt, or onto ice cream. It has a fresh and zesty flavor, and goes well with sweet or savory dishes.

Cut your lemons into walnut-sized chunks before freezing, and then you can throw them into your glass of water to keep it cool and to add a lovely fresh flavor.
