Lemons: Meyer (3/pkg.)

Description

A cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange, the Meyer Lemon has smooth golden skin, a thin edible rind, a high volume of juice and none of the tartness of a regular lemon! Meyer Lemons can be substituted for regular lemons in most cases; its aromatic, slightly sweet quality brightens desserts, sauces, salads and roasts.

Provided to OtterBee’s Market at 2 or 3 to a package (depending on size) by a Curry County orchardist, these lemons are a real treat whenever you want a burst of lemon flavor without the acidic bite. Grown using organic practices. Store your lemons in the refrigerator crisper, where they’ll keep for at least 2-4 weeks.
