How to extract more juice from citrus fruits

July 8, 2010
To extract more juice from a lemon, orange or grapefruit, roll it first backward and forward between a flat surface and the palm of your hand, pressed firmly against the fruit. This will break the fibre inside the flesh and help it release more juice. You can also microwave it (or dip in hot water) for 20 seconds, the heat will soften the fibre and help the juices out. If the fruit is already halved and appears to be on the dry end, or if you are using an old lemon half that stared at you for the past three weeks on a door shelf in your fridge, run the cut side under water (pierce it with a fork first if it has dried out) and microwave the fruit half for 20 seconds. You will be amazed at the results!
