Robbie Sigona’s Produce Tips: Meyer Lemons

• Ripe Meyers will be heavy for their size

• Ripe Meyer lemons will have a slight give and will have a bit of a dull finish

• The skin should be smooth, yet finely graded

• Meyers will store well at room temperature for up to two weeks, but keep longer when in plastic bags and stored in the fridge

• Larger lemons will have thicker skin, smaller fruit and less juice, so stick to the medium and small lemons
