TIP OF THE DAY: Maximize That Citrus Juice

Before cutting a lemon, lime or orange, whether to juice it or to cut a wedge or wheel for a beverage, try these two tricks (either one works on its own; together they help maximize juice you can squeeze): Trick #1 Zap the citrus in the microwave for ten seconds. This activates the juice in the sacs so it’s ready to burst forth when juiced. Trick #2 Next, press down on the whole citrus and roll it for another 15 seconds or more on the kitchen counter or a cutting board. This applies pressure that releases more juice from the sacs. You’ll get more juice for your recipe or a bigger squeeze of juice from the wedge. |
