What is the bitter taste of pickled lemons? 1. Because the chemicals contained in the lemon peel are slightly bitter, if the lemon is not peeled, the pickled water will still be bitter.
2. If you buy dried lemon slices, the reason why they will be bitter when soaked in water is the lemon seeds in the dried lemon.
3. Fresh lemons can't be pickled directly with hot water, otherwise it will become bitter. Moreover, the vitamin C contained in lemon will also be destroyed by high temperature.
So marinate with fresh lemon, preferably warm water, and it is not more than 50℃ warm water, so it will not be bitter.
It is suggested that pickled lemons should be packed in glass or plastic glass.
Generally speaking, lemon honey is best not to be bottled in plastic. Lemon contains a lot of citric acid, which easily reacts with plastic bottles to produce harmful substances, which is not conducive to health.
Because the structure of plastic bottles is unstable, it is not a good idea to put lemon honey in them. Although honey is stored in wooden containers, it is best to put the lemon honey water brewed after cutting the lemon in a stable container to avoid chemical reaction.
Lemon honey water is best bottled in glass. The composition of glass is more stable than that of plastic, and its sealing performance is also strong. Ceramic sealed cans are also acceptable. It is forbidden to use metal containers to hold lemon honey. First, citric acid will accelerate metal precipitation, and second, free heavy metals will pollute lemon honey water.
Is honey or sugar better for lemon pickling? Of course, honey is better. When pickling lemons with honey, put them layer by layer in the order of honey and lemon. Sprinkle a thin layer of salt on the honey and put some salt in the lemon slices to "kill" the juice as much as possible. Another point is that a little salt can bring out the sweetness and taste more delicious.
Lemons pickled with pure natural mature honey can be placed directly in a cool place indoors and can be taken out for at least 2~3 days after cooking. Can be used to make black tea, clear throat and moisten lungs, and supplement VC. You can eat a few sweets when you are greedy, and you can also put them aside for food decoration when you make dessert.
