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 π
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
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.
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'd assume most people have peeled an orange, but probably not a lemon. Interesting question though.
interesting! i guess maybe i am weird lol i have definitely peeled and cut both. i donβt think i have peeled a lime tho
What was the purpose of peeling the lemon?
eat it
Makes my mouth pucker just thinking about it!
yeah they sour fr
under what circumstances have you peeled a lemon
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.
That looks fuckin good
Put some salt on that, good shit.
Salt? Iβve never tried that, but it sounds like it would put my teeth on edge. Iβve taken the wedges and dipped them in sugar. Not good for you, but itβs lemonade-like.
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.
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!
As a math nerd, I love it. Love the symmetry of the shape.
This is how I eat them
Hurts my jaw just looking at it
