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
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.
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.

*le sigh*
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.
There are actually some lemon varieties with a thinner grind that are meant to be peeled; cant say what the name of a specific species though; also depending on where you live limes with a tinner grind may be easier to find.
Limes are terribly bitter though. Not really comparable to lemons in regards to their flavor.
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.
Put some salt on that, good shit.
bad for your teeth
So is apple cider vinegar, but it is still good shit.
Everything we eat is bad for our teeth. Our teeth weren’t designed to be brushed or for sugar or to eat such soft foods.
is this ironic have yall genuinely never peeled a lemon or orange before?
edit, ty for the downvotes in response to a genuine question
edit 2 okay sounds like i am one of few who had done this thanks to those who answered
I have never has a reason to peel a lemon. I don’t have to when I juice them and I don’t have to when I slice them for a drink. So why would I?
I was gonna say, it looks like a peeled orange, but yellow.
I did, but they never looked like this because they kept most of the white layer beneath the peel and unlike some oranges it was impossible to pull off.
yeah this happens sometimes it might be a ripeness thing? unsure
Someone else said there’s specific lemons that are meant to be peeled. Not sure.
I like eating lemons by themselves so this doesn’t disturb me at all. It looks delicious!
You monster! AI generated pictures are hell!
I looked it up and this is real
