Yes, lemons freeze surprisingly well. You can freeze the whole fruit, slices, zest, or juice depending on how you use lemons most often.

For drinks, freeze lemon slices on a tray and then move them to a bag. For cooking, freeze lemon juice in small portions or ice cube trays.

Lemon zest also freezes well and can be used straight from the freezer. Whole lemons can be frozen too, but they become softer after thawing.

If you only need fresh wedges for presentation, fresh lemons still look better.

Lemons are very freezer friendly, especially if you freeze them in the form you use most.
