    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.

    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.

    Can I use my vacuum sealer for whole lemons to freeze them?

    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.
