These large, thin-skinned lemons are seldom sold commercially, but
the
trees are popular for landscaping. So, if a neighbor offers some off a
backyard tree, take
them. They have abundant juice. They are sweeter than supermarket
lemons, so they
make excellent lemonade. Use the juice also in marinades, sauces and
cakes and
frostings.

save the skins also
put in a jar turns into excellent cleaning goop for the shed
or workshop.

to see the effectiveness put a rusty or corroded bit of metal in and
leave a while - sometimes comes out looking like stainless steel

we mix with sorbaline to make hand cleaner

They're not popular for landscaping up here, but I have an apple tree,
two cherries (pie cherries of some sort), and a seckel pear tree.
Black
raspberries round out the fruit production capabilities in my yard.

Meyer lemons are seasonally available in the supermarket where I shop,
but the price is so much higher (about 3x) than regular lemons that I
rarely
consider them worth the premium.

Just curious - do you think people in this group don't know how to
find out facts about food items?
