Placing aluminium foil on half a lemon? How this simple kitchen hack works, it benefits and the right way to use it to keep cut lemons fresh

A whole lemon can be used in several ways, but it is not always possible to finish one in a single go. One half may be added to tea, salads or recipes, while the remaining piece is often stored in the refrigerator.

A simple aluminium foil hack can help protect the unused half and keep it in better condition until you need it again.
