The two major varieties of lemons are the Lisbon and the Eureka; they are so similar that even the experts can't always tell them apart!
Nutrition Facts
Just a slightly different taste, a little sweeter.
The Meyer lemon, actually a cross between a lemon and possibly an orange or a mandarin, was named for Frank N. Meyer who first discovered it in 1908.
Thin-skinned and slightly less acidic than the Lisbon and Eureka lemons.

Mr Meyer himself has personally squeezed each one to check for the proper feel before they ship them...plus, they are 10% more "lemony" than the next leading brand.

They are very juicy and sweeter than regular lemons... GREAT for fresh lemonade!
