Did you know!
The average lemon contains approximately 3 tablespoons of juice. Allowing lemons to come to room temperature before squeezing makes the juice easier to extract. Lemons left unrefrigerated for long periods of time are susceptible to mold. India tops the production list with about 16% of the world’s overall lemon and lime output!
