"Kitchen Hack: Don’t Waste Your Limes"
Lime has always been one of those simple but important ingredients in Malaysian cooking. That sour kick makes a big difference in many dishes.

Usually when buying limes, it is never just one or two - it comes in a handful. The same goes when they are grown at home. Sometimes there are just more than needed at one time.

The thing is - limes do not last very long, even when kept in the fridge. After a while, they start to dry up and lose their juice. Most of the time, they end up being thrown away.

A simple way to avoid this is to squeeze out all the lime juice at once, remove the seeds, and pour the juice into a bottle. Store it in the fridge and use it whenever needed.

Much easier than cutting and squeezing each time, and more importantly, it helps prevent wastage when the limes would otherwise go dry and unused.
