<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > Anyue lemon is so good, how should I choose it? </h1>
The same is lemon, pick well is delicious, pick the wrong is bitter and astringent, so how to choose a high-quality lemon? Be sure to keep these two points in mind!
First, smell: when choosing, we can smell the aroma of lemon, if it smells like a fruit rot, then such a lemon is not only less juice, but also more bitter to eat;
Second, look: it is an important way to choose lemons, which can be seen from several aspects: color, shape, and fruit stem. Lemons with bright yellow and even color distribution are relatively fresh. Dark yellow lemons, it is possible that they have been left for a long time, so that the lemon will lose moisture and lack the tender lemon pulp. Lemons with a lighter color may taste more sour when eaten. If the stems at both ends of the lemon are green, it means that the lemon is fresh and has more juice. If the fruit pedicle has begun to yellow and darken, it will not be fresh enough for a longer period of time. From the shape point of view, to choose a more round lemon, the belly of the lemon is sufficient, and the acidity is low, if it is two more pointed, and the middle is very thin lemon, it will be very sour to eat.
