How To Cut Lemon Wedges - lemon

Method

• With the pointed end of the lemon facing up, cut an X into the side.
• Here's the lemon cut along the X.
• This makes 4 pieces.
• Cut each piece into half to end up with 8 wedges.
• You're all done.
• Addended by request: The X cut is a good way to cut an oval shaped fruit evenly.
• I've also posted a different cutting procedure using the same method.
• To cut a round large citrus, start by cutting it in half.
• With the cut sides facing up, cut each half into half again.
• (If the fruit is very big so you can cut it into thirds.)
• The wedges look like this from the sides.
• The fruit comes off the peel cleanly and is easy to eat.
