Lemon is one of the most popular citrus fruits on the market, and its versatility knows no bounds. From lemonades and cocktails to salad dressings and soups, lemon can take pretty much any food and drink to the next level, but it also comes with many creative uses that you probably aren’t aware of.

Perfectly Boiled Eggs

If you don’t like boiling eggs because they tend to crack and aren’t easy to peel off, don’t disappear. Before boiling your eggs, brush their eggshells with some lemon juice to make the process easier.

Leafy Greens

Looking for a way to refresh your leafy greens? A few drops of lemon will get you there! Just soak your leafy greens in cold water with some lemon juice and refrigerate them for an hour.

Slow Down Browning

Many fruits tend to brown pretty quickly, including avocados, apples, and bananas, but you can use some lemon juice to slow down the oxidation process and keep them fresh for longer.

Sticky Rice

Have you ever dealt with sticky and clumpy rice and wondered how you could solve this problem. Add a few squeezes of lemon to your rice before cooking it, and you’re good to go.
