Two meyer lemons and leaves covered with water droplets hanging from branch on white background. The Meyer lemon fruit (Citrus Ãâ meyeri) is yellow and rounder than a true lemon. The skin is fragrant and thin, colored a deep yellow with a slight orange tint when ripe. Meyer lemon fruits have a sweeter, less acidic flavor than the more common Lisbon or Eureka grocery store lemon varieties.
