When I was in California, I saw perfectly peeled lemons lying under a friend’s lemon tree. He told me the rats did it - they ate the peel but were very careful not to bite into the sour inside.
How very nice and thoughtful of them 💛
And they say Ratatouille is fiction…
What’s funny is that it literally made my saliva glands go
If you have access to litmus paper you can do a fun experiment- test your saliva PH, then think about biting into a lemon and test again. It will go from roughly neutral to very basic in preparation for the incoming acid.
Where can one buy litmus paper to try this? I am very curious now.
Amazon. “Universal indicator paper” or “ph test strips” should give you plenty.
But how do i test it without thinking about thinking about lemons in the future?
Yeah. As someone who loves lemons I think this looks tasty as fuck. I’m pretty sure peeling lemons is leaving most of that white layer though. Also, I keep wanting to write melons for some reason.
I did this recently, peeled a bunch of lemons in a fermentation experiment. The ones I peeled were extremely difficult to peel relative to oranges and tangerines. The tendency of peeling to cause a minor hangnail was particularly painful after around half a mason jar full.
The worst part was that the batch got mold contamination after the first 2 weeks and totally ruined all the effort.
