Lemon Selection Tips: Round or long? Which lemon is more juicy? Before going to the market, know the secret way of choosing a juicy lemon.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Two types of lemons are often seen in the market, one completely round and the other slightly long (oval). People often choose them on the basis of appearance, but according to science and gardening experts, more juice is identified by its shape and its skin.1. Round vs Long: Who’s the Winner?Round Lemons: According to experts, lemons that are perfectly round are likely to have more juice content than long lemons. Round lemons usually have thinner peels, giving them more room for pulp and juice. Long Lemons: Long lemons often have thicker peels. These are good for zesting the lemon, but they are not as effective for extracting the juice.2. Pay attention to the texture of the peel. Thin and smooth peel: While choosing a lemon, feel it by touching it. Whose peel is very smooth and thin, it is filled with juice after crushing. Rough peel: If the skin of the lemon is rough or raised, then understand that its peel is thick and there is less juice and more fibers inside it. 3. Identify weight by weight and colour: Place two lemons of equal size on your palms. Choose only the lemon that feels heavier than its size. Heaviness simply means that there is more juice inside it. Bright yellow color: The color of the lemon should be dark yellow. Green lemons are often unripe and have high acidity, but less juice. Lemons that are too dark yellow or stained may become spoiled or dry from inside.4. Squeeze Test: Squeeze the lemon gently with your fingers. If it feels slightly spongy, it is juicy. If it’s hard as a stone, don’t buy it as it may be dry inside. Pro tip for extracting more juice: Before cutting the lemon, rub it slightly on the kitchen counter or table with your palm. Due to this, the fibers inside the lemon break and you get 20-30% more juice than normal.
