The Frozen Lemon Trick

Stop wasting lemons. Freeze them instead!
A quick tip to freeze and grate lemons instead of juice with a fun yogurt idea at the end.

[@g.e.1432]

Make sure you always use organic lemons, especially if you are going to consume the peel.

[@irenepeek3211]

The end you cut off is the stem end where it grows on the tree. The other end is the blossom end. Thanks for the grate 🤭 idea. I'm definitely going to be using it. Blessings to you and yours 🙏❣️

[@melissarmt7330]

There are more nutrients in citrus peel than in the pulp so this is a "grate" idea. :D I know...all puns are bad.

[@byDsign]

I see what you did there with that *grate* idea. LOL

[@elizabethrundquist5496]

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing :)

[@mariajones2757]

Just grated my very first lemon. So tasty and flavorful. Thanks!

[@cindystrother7710]

THANKS for the AWESOME TIPS

[@gintracy]

Great trick and just what I was looking for.Thanks!

[@lisac9830]

awesome ideas! thank you

[@idalarson1611]

Who knew? Just throw them in a freezer bag and pop them into the freezer! So easy, even I can do it!!! Thanks so much for the help, because I was wondering how I was going to make use of the rinds which I know are too bitter for me to just eat! Mixing them with the rest of the frozen lemon in a grate and putting them in with my foods is an incredible idea! Thanks so much for your video, and congratulations on baby #2! You'll get the hang of it all soon.

[@nainarao3595]

Hey that was a super enjoyable, informative video..

[@woof999]

I do this with ginger... LOVE It!

[@LCHFKitchenSpaz]

This is a great idea!

[@RV-there-Yet]

Brilliant!!

[@joanstorer6370]

Thank you Roni for showing us how to freeze a lemon. I think it's a great idea and I loved the video. I wondered if I could ask you to try and speak a little slower as I am from England and can't always catch the american accent. I wish you and your family well.

[@plharr23]

thanks love this tip and can always keep in freezer I hate when recipe calls for lemon zest and I don't want make a trip to store for just a lemon and only use a few grates of skin and would rather do this then concentrate love this tip

[@leslieslass]

You could also re-freeze the grated lemon for the winter. Then you have a flu & sore throat remedy with honey & boiled hot water. Also you could the lemon for prawns , fish & any seafood. Now my teeth are watering lol. Great video + GreenLiteBites

[@inezchristina7684]

Great tumbs up

[@chrismunns3480]

Guess I could cut wedges, freeze, then grate in vitamix and put in ice cube trays or something. What do you think? I have a tree and lots go to waste sometimes.

[@kjsgill5734]

Superb idea ! Thank You.

[@joanstorer6370]

I have just read some of the comments below. Take no notice . It was a lovely video and came out very natural. Funny how people can be so negative about someone who is giving us help. Maybe they are jealous. ah ah . I will look for more of your videos.

[@reginap0lley478]

You are so much fun...

[@g.e.1432]

You have an adorable personality .

[@gwolt]

ur awesome!

[@kellie77381]

I was thinking about what other fruits this could be done with....obviously most if not all citrus fruits....but then I went another direction and thought watermelon....I'd love to see the size of the grater for that lol. Just kidding...but seriously....watermelon snow sounds amazing!!

[@RonisRecipes]

Yup! I have done it with all citrus!!

[@TurnOnA6pence]

Is it possible to grind in a grinder?

[@flutteringazure]

Oooh, that is a super tip! And I've just bought a net full of lemons so a couple of those are now freezer-bound!

[@frillydilly52]

is the lemon bitter since you grate the pith (white peel)?

[@IN-D-YHN]

nope!

[@suki9]

Any tricks on what to do when you get near the end of the lemon and not grate your oven gloves. This would definitely happen to me.

[@suki9]

How about washing them, cutting, removing seeds and blending with water, then freezing into ice cube trays. You won't have the extra work of grating frozen lemons which will be slippery with or without oven mitts.

[@angeliacolglazier197]

I’m thinking lemon curd. I want to know how to use my frozen lemons in my lemon curd recipe. And I can’t find one “frozen lemon” conversion. 😩

[@fusspuss16]

love ur hair

[@g.e.1432]

I will try to freeze lemons even after I juice them, so I don't waste the peel.

[@christinedundas8614]

Great thanks ...Your cute ...I'm a dork too hahaha :) cheers

[@g.e.1432]

Commercial yogurt is loaded with sugar, preservatives and who knows what else. I eat natural keifer which I add some stevia to, and some organic assorted nuts, not only is it delicious but it contains probiotics which commercial yogurt I doubt it does.

[@donnahooten3104]

We freeze them and make the lemon snow and eat the snow. The kids love it.

[@nickiphillips7347]

Donna, I froze some lemons, took one out yesterday, and tried to grate all of it. I got so tired. Do you have another way to grate the lemon besides manually?

[@sking3225]

Love the idea of using it on fish!!

[@basiabasia3387]

that "idea" is as old as fish cooking!!!!!

[@hamptom11]

that is cool beans. will use that idea. did you try this with oranges? would like to know. thanks

[@RonisRecipes]

I have! Well, clementines. Worked like a charm!

[@hamptom11]

love you for your ideas. thanks

[@ambermarie1636]

That's so awesome o: You remind me of Jennifer lawrence just sayin

[@horsemomof5]

Dehydrated/dry zest can be stored in a zip lock

[@evone56]

CAN YOU JUST KEEP THE LEMONS FROZEN OR IS THERE A TIME LIMIT?

[@IN-D-YHN]

yep anthing frozen keeps for a while

[@SandBox86]

Maximum 2 days 7 hours 49 minutes 23 seconds 183 milliseconds

[@nonya68]

Hiya, Thx for the idea. I tried it, but it tasted awful. Since the rind is also included. Sooooooo.... I hacked your process as follows: Buy lemons, wash them with a mixture of peroxide w/ water solution. Dried with clean kitchen towel. I then put in freezer, waited 2 days until completely frozen. I then ZESTED them and used a potato slicer to remove the rind. From there, I cut the lemon in half, removed seeds and thinly sliced them. Then, I put back in freezer and next day ran it thru my Ninja blender (the small one) and added the lemon zest. From there - I added Organic Concentrate lemon juice (store bought), gave it a good mix and poured it onto a ice tray. You can leave out the zest and just freeze in a small container. I don't do vlogs, so feel free to make this one, if you like. Email me and tell me how it went. I mainly use this for my daily drinking lemon water.

[@bonanzatime]

So the seeds.? No issues with the seeds?? 👍

[@lizrising5142]

I was thinking about the seeds too!

[@SilverValkyrie]

i might try this with oranges..

[@musictramp41]

Can you do this with oranges?

[@basiabasia3387]

just give it a try instead of asking a stupid Q!!!

[@anissastsrr5608]

I heard that it's supposed to be great as a cancer preventive.

[@adamjavier580]

coca cola light + organic apple vinegar + lemons

[@usedup123]

Its called the blossom end of the lemon you cut off.

[@MsHari-lu3cw]

Can't you just use a blender to save time?

[@jagman7023]

Lemon snoww

[@Izzazzo]

dairy and meat is a silent killer. Plant-based all the way. love this tip tho!

[@g.e.1432]
