The first thing we do after buying lemons is to refrigerate them. Moreover, in many houses we keep a separate place for it. This is very, very wrong.

Not only lemons but also oranges. Citrus fruits should never be refrigerated. Because their skin naturally secretes some kind of oil.

This oil solidifies like wax when kept in the fridge. So the taste of the fruit changes completely.

Citrus fruits can be covered with a clean white cloth soaked in water and squeezed and kept outside. You can keep sprinkling water lightly from time to time.
