The Beloved Meyer Lemon
| Flavor Profile Sweeter and less acidic than the common Eureka lemon, Meyer lemons have a delicate, orange-like flavor paired with bright floral and woody aromas, replacing the typical sourness. |
 |
How to Use It Use the rind (avoiding the bitter pith!) to infuse olive oil for a fragrant drizzle that elevates salads, roasted vegetables, pasta dishes, and proteins—or even use in an olive-oil based cake! |
| The Meyer lemon, a fascinating mix of botanical discovery, agricultural challenge, and culinary fame, traces back to Frank Meyer, the USDA botanist and explorer who brought the unique variety from China to the U.S. in 1908. In addition to introducing over 2,500 new plant varieties to North America, including apricots and wild pears, Meyer’s exploratory journey across China, Russia, and Japan was unfortunately marked by solitude and relentless bouts of depression. During an expedition through China in 1918, a boatman found Meyers body floating in the Yangtze River. The USDA archives state that Meyer’s death will “remain a mystery and source of speculation.” However, the Meyer lemon’s legacy lives on, thriving in kitchens and gardens, thanks to Alice Waters and Martha Stewart—a lasting tribute to Frank Meyer’s. |
