Meyer Lemon
about this product

Meyer lemons are a little sweeter and less sharp than regular lemons — with a lovely, almost floral citrus aroma. That’s why they’re perfect for both baking and cooking: from silky tarts to fresh pasta, dressings and desserts. Use the juice for brightness and the thin, fragrant zest to add an extra burst of flavour.
