Watch: How to juice a lemon without cutting it open

Rather than cutting up a lemon for its juice, only to waste the perfectly-edible flesh within, Jo has a delightfully easy and mess-free method of juicing a lemon.

Firmly roll a lemon between your hands, then on a hard surface – such as a bench top – until the inside of the fruit feels soft.

Take a food skewer and pierce the lemon through the top nodule, pushing it to the middle of the fruit. Then, all you have to do is squeeze and a stream of lemon juice should flow freely from the hole in the top of the lemon. Watch the video above to this beilliant hack in action.
