The weight of each lemon varies dramatically and is a good example why it is important to be choosy when picking out citrus.

I consider myself quite the home cook ;), so I should know this. But I often end up bringing home dry lemons. I will absolutely use this tip. Thanks Ray!

Heather, Thanks for your comment. This is the reason I do the videos. I hope that even the experienced chef is able to pick up a tip or two. And remember you don't need a scale for this tip to work. When buying citrus simply pick up more than one lemon, lime, grapefruit, etc. and compare them against others in the bunch. You may be surprised by the difference in weight that can be felt just by holding like items. Good luck and good picking!
