I’d assume most people have peeled an orange, but probably not a lemon. Interesting question though.

I did, but they never looked like this because they kept most of the white layer beneath the peel and unlike some oranges it was impossible to pull off.

Someone else said there’s specific lemons that are meant to be peeled. Not sure.

I have never has a reason to peel a lemon. I don’t have to when I juice them and I don’t have to when I slice them for a drink. So why would I?

I did this recently, peeled a bunch of lemons in a fermentation experiment. The ones I peeled were extremely difficult to peel relative to oranges and tangerines. The tendency of peeling to cause a minor hangnail was particularly painful after around half a mason jar full.

The worst part was that the batch got mold contamination after the first 2 weeks and totally ruined all the effort.

Both of these problems you had are why you should wear gloves and sterilize all equipment before fermentation experiments.

I think it would be extremely difficult to peel a lemon while wearing gloves

Fair, nails are extremely useful. They also contain a lot of bacteria that can ruin fermentation experiments. Other tools exist.
