Wash citrus in plain water and dry throughly with a clean towel as
soon as it's brought home, and then store in fridge one layer deep so
they are not touching, do not stack or the pressure will trigger
molding to begin at the point of contact... do not store in plastic
bags! Even cut citrus, such as lemons/limes should not be stored in
plastic bags in the fridge, the cut surface will dry and seal itself.
It's best to buy no more citrus than one can consume within a week...
those bulk bags on sale are no bargain if some need to be thrown away.
