For information purposes only. I have just bought a load of unwaxed lemons, Variety Verna from Spain. I bought them at Lidl becaus ehey looked large and appetising.The worrying thing for me is that the label says treated with Imazalil and Fosetyl-AL.
I have looked these up and they are both carciogenic fungiscides!
Appaently you can only get rid of 30% of the fungiscide by blanching and scrubbing.
Apart from the elderflower champagne I always have the juice of two lemons first thing each morning which is slightly worrying? I was blitzing the lemons and eating the pulp but found I couldn't get away with the bittyness.
I wonder whether boiling the peel then adding it to the juice (with ginger and cinnamon added) could minimise the toxicity?
