Meyer Lemon

Meyer lemon is a citrus fruit that is a cross between a lemon and a mandarin or orange. It is named after Frank N. Meyer, who first discovered it in China in the early 20th century. Meyer lemons are smaller and rounder than traditional lemons, with a thin, smooth, and fragrant golden-yellow skin. They have a sweeter and less acidic flavor compared to regular lemons, with a hint of mandarin orange. Meyer lemons are often used in culinary applications due to their unique taste and aroma. They are especially popular in baking, cooking, and making beverages such as lemonade and cocktails.
