    I accidentally defrosted my lemons. Can I refreeze them?
    Community Answer
    No. It might have been rotted, so you better throw them out. Lemons are very useful in curing most diseases.

    I froze lemons whole in the green stage. Can I use the juice from these unripened lemons?

    Community Answer
    The juice will be very bitter and likely lack a strong lemon flavor. You could, in theory, use it, but the final product you get from it will probably not turn out the way you had hoped.

    Can I freeze unripe lemons?
    H.knowitall
    Community Answer
    You can freeze anything, but once you freeze a fruit it won't ripen any more. Even if you thaw a fruit and leave it out, it will only ever be as ripe (or sweet) as when you freeze it.

  • Question
    Can I use my vacuum sealer for whole lemons to freeze them?
    Community Answer
    Yes. In fact, when using Ziplock bags, all the air should be removed from the bag before freezing. A vacuum sealing system is even better! Just make sure the lemons are washed and completely dry before bagging and freezing.
