Pre-squeeze lemons?

[bpfwhole30]

I want to pre-squeeze some lemons for their juice. I like to have Perrier with lemon, but I don't drink it often enough to cut up a whole lemon for it. Would the juice keep in the fridge? For how long? Alternately, is there a compliant lemon juice bottle I can buy (I've noticed the ones in the store all have bad stuff)?

 

Thanks for your thoughts!

I found Santa Cruz organic lemon juice, no added ingredients. It was in the natural foods section of my Fred Meyer/Kroger.

You can make ice cubes out of juice and add them to your drinks, or slices of lime, lemon or orange. Just make sure it's not sneaking into SWYPO territory (drinking fruit juice). I find lemon & lime the easiest not to overdo.

 

Most of the preserved ones taste manky compared to the real thing

A cut up lemon keeps for a few days in the fridge. I add lemon, lime and mint to my water, and it takes me about 4 days to go through the slices once I cut one up. I buy organic and just throw the slices, peal and all, in my cup with a slight squeeze, and I can refill my glass many times and still taste the flavors, especially when I use sparkling water (I think maybe the bubbles pull out the flavor).

 

You might also just want to try La Croix sparkling water, it's compliant and they have lemon flavor.

I bought a 16oz portion of squeezed lemon from the Farmers Market (they squeeze while you wait) and it lasted at least 3 weeks.  I'm sure the nutrients will go away but it still tastes fine.

We don't presqueeze, but we always have a couple lemons and limes in the fridge and cut a few wedges for quick squeeze into our sparkling water.
