3 Lemons in bag turned to green dust. Keep the rest?
A friend brought me a huge bag of lemons from Costco and I didn't have room in the fridge (he brought me a ton of produce), so I left them in the bag on the counter for 2 days. I could see the perfect lemons in front, but the plastic at the back was not see-through. Three lemons had turned to smelly green dust! Mystery smell solved. There was only one other that I had to cut off part of the rind and I squeezed the juice from that for my dish, but I scrubbed all the rest, and put them in a bowl in the fridge. I hope they don't freeze - no room in the crisper. Any suggestions there would also be appreciated.
I have a question for you. Would you zest lemons that had been exposed to that green dust? Should I spray them with a bleach solution and rinse? Should I trash them? What would you do?
I originally put this in the thread about kitchen odors, but was afraid it would get lost.
