Meyer lemons
Thin-skinned yellow fruit
Meyer lemons are a variety of lemon that's sweeter and less acidic than common supermarket lemons, with a rounder shape and thin, deep yellow skin.
They're a hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin orange, prized in cooking for their floral fragrance and milder flavor: The recipe calls for Meyer lemons, but regular lemons work fine.
