How to Pick Juicy Lime and Lemons
Look for lemons with thinner skin and small blemishes because they have more juice than those with thicker skin. You should also consider their colors because bright yellow lemons and full green limes are ripe, make sure not to pick lemons with some green on them, or lime with some yellow on them. Gently squeeze the fruit but not too hard and you should be able to feel their juiciness and also check the weight, if feels more light then it might not have enough juice in it.

How to Store Lime and Lemons
Make sure to put the lime and lemon in a large bowl with good air circulation, then place them in the counter at room temperature, and store them for about 3 to 5 days. If you want to store them in the fridge, then make sure to put them loosely in a drawer or inside a breathable bag, and store them for up to a month. Once ready to use the limes and lemons, make sure to rinse them under running water, then scrub the skin well before using them, and make sure to use them when they are at room temperature to maximize the juiciness.
