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…
Rats truly are the goats of the lemon grass
There’s bound to be a market for that. I’d love to buy peeled lemons if the peeling came at little to no additional cost.
That’s interesting. Zested lemon (finely grated lemon peel) has a pretty strong flavor too. I guess it’s not as intensely sour though.
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.
Heck yeah. Thanks chum.
But how do i test it without thinking about thinking about lemons in the future?
New Superman power: super basic spit.
Oh yeah, every time I remember warheads I can feel my mouth getting ready to suffer.
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 like lemons a lot (we have a huge tree), but don’t think I’d eat one like that. But looking at the picture really makes my mouth water because my brain knows how sour biting into that would be.

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.
Both of these problems you had are why you should wear gloves and sterilize all equipment before fermentation experiments.
I think it would be extremely difficult to peel a lemon while wearing gloves
Fair, nails are extremely useful. They also contain a lot of bacteria that can ruin fermentation experiments. Other tools exist.
That looks fuckin good
God, that looks so delicious.
You monster! AI generated pictures are hell!
I looked it up and this is real
I like eating lemons by themselves so this doesn’t disturb me at all. It looks delicious!
This is how I eat them
Hurts my jaw just looking at it
As a math nerd, I love it. Love the symmetry of the shape.
