Why do you think the lemons are stored in vinegar?

Lemons should not be stored in vinegar. Storing lemons in vinegar not only ruins the delicate flavour of the lemon, but vinegar also makes the texture soggy, which further ruins their natural taste. To store lemons, you may keep them fresh by storing them in an open cardboard box in a dark, cool environment with adequate ventilation to prevent moisture formation. This can extend the life of lemons by reducing exposure to sunlight, preserving their taste and allowing their natural properties to shine through.
