To cut a lemon for eating, typically you'll want to cut it into wedges. Here's how:
-
Cut the lemon lengthwise in half. Place the lemon on its side and slice it down the middle.
-
Cut each half lengthwise again. Take each half and place it cut-side down on the cutting board for stability. Then, slice each half lengthwise down the middle.
-
Consider further dividing if needed. Depending on the desired size of the wedges, you can slice each quarter lengthwise again to create smaller wedges.
