Meyer Lemon

Meyer Lemon is a unique variety of lemon known for its sweeter, less tart flavor and thinner, smoother skin. Originating from China and brought to the U.S. by Frank Meyer in the early 20th century, it combines qualities of a lemon and an orange. Its juicy flesh has a fragrant aroma, making it popular in cooking, baking, and beverages. Meyer Limes are also available, but Meyer Lemons are prized for their balance of bright citrus acidity and natural sweetness, offering a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed fresh, in salads, desserts, or as a flavor enhancer.
