About Meyer lemons
Meyer lemons are a kitchen item rather than a bar item: thinner-skinned, less acidic and more floral than a common lemon, they go into pastry, curing, vinaigrettes and preserved-lemon prep rather than into the service well. They are a smaller, more fragile crop and are handled as a specialty citrus line, which is why they carry their own reference and their own price instead of tracking the lemon quote. Supply follows the wider citrus calendar — California, Arizona and Florida through the domestic winter and spring deal, Southern Hemisphere and Mediterranean origins across summer and fall.
Buying notes
Sold as a single ten-pound case with no size grade to arbitrate, so the quote is the whole decision on this item. The thin skin bruises easily and the fruit does not hold like a common lemon, so buy against actual prep days rather than building a par.
