      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
