These green sprayers come in two sizes, one to fit small fruits such as limes, and the other for bigger ones such as oranges. They are perfect to produce a spritz of citrus for salads, seafood or drinks.

Manufacturer: Lekue

Does it work? Superbly

Pros: They’re fun to use and last for days in the fridge, allowing for lots of misting. When the sprays grew weak, I squeezed or rolled the fruit and the sprays were reenergized. When it seemed as though the orange was out of juice, I peeled it and ate it. It was still yummy, albeit not as juicy.

The silicon rim creates a nice seal so juice doesn’t leak out. Hands stay clean and don’t get sticky.

Finally, the sprayers come apart easily into three pieces, making them easy to clean. They’re dishwasher-safe, as well.

Cons: The first few sprays have a little bitterness from the fruits’ pith. Kids will want to spray everything, although this could be considered a good thing for their vitamin C intake — if they’re eating what they spray, that is.

Cost: $7.50 on amazon.com, $15 on lekueusa.com and walmart.com; also available on other sites

Worth it? Yes for people who enjoy a hint of citrus in their food or drinks. A spritz on baked items, fresh out of the oven, is also nice. The mist enhances rather than overwhelms, the way juice squeezed from a lemon wedge might overpower a food.

My aunt, who enjoys lemon in her water, was one of my testers, and after her first try she quickly called dibs on the sprayer.
