Limes are usually stored in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life . However, improper storage can cause limes to become dry and hard. This condition certainly makes it difficult to reuse limes.
Lime turns dry generally caused by exposure to air and temperature that is not ideal. Incorrect placement, such as in an open or too cold place, can also speed up the drying process. In addition, the quality of lime when purchased also affects its durability.
The condition of dried and hard limes is often considered unusable. As a result, many people choose to just throw them away. Even though dried limes can be fresh and soft again, you know.
An Instagram user @zelinenaila once shared a trick to overcome dried limes so that they are soft and can be used again. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to applying a very simple trick. However, this lime can be soft and juicy again.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @zelinenaila on Tuesday (8/10), the trick to restore the freshness of lime is to soak it. Just prepare an airtight container first. Then fill it with enough water. Once done, put the dried lime in it. Make sure the lime is completely submerged. Then close the container and place the lime in the chiller section of the refrigerator.
