Lemons 500g (Meyer) - Certified Organic

Certified organic Meyer lemons from Conscious Ground in Myocum, in the Byron hinterland.

Meyer lemons grow in backyards all over the Northern Rivers, and once you've cooked with them you'll see why.

Meyers are a little sweeter and softer than a regular lemon, with a fragrant, thin skin. They're a staple for dressings, drinks and cooking.

In the kitchen

• Squeezed into a simple olive oil dressing
• Sliced into hot water in the morning
• Zested over pasta, fish or roast vegetables
• Baked into a lemon cake or curd

How to prepare

Wash before zesting, and zest before you squeeze. Roll them on the bench first for more juice.

Spring recipe: Meyer lemon pasta

Toss hot spaghetti with butter, plenty of Meyer lemon zest and juice, grated parmesan and a splash of the pasta water. Finish with black pepper and basil. Simple and so good.

How to store

Keep them in the fruit bowl for a week, or in the fridge for a few weeks.

Sold in 500g portions, approx. 2 to 4 lemons.
