Meyer Lemon fruit has a unique taste that is sweet and slightly sour at the same time. This is due to its hybridization of lemon trees with mandarin orange trees. Meyer Lemons can be peeled and the juice squeezed onto salads. The pulp, juice and zest are also used in baking or savory recipes. Chefs prize the peel of the Meyer Lemon for its fragrant aroma and subtle flavor. While they are not as sour as some lemon varieties, Meyer Lemons are not usually eaten as a raw fruit the way one would eat an orange.
