Scientific Name: Citrus limon ‘Meyer’
Meyer Lemons have a low acidity with a sweet taste
The Meyer lemon is believed to have been crossed with a mandarin and a normal lemon, the less acidic and sweeter flavour of the Meyer lemon means the lemon is good for beverages, cooking and baking. The rind / skin of the Meyer lemon has a smooth feel and the colour can vary from bright yellow to a deeper yellow with an orange hue.
