I lose my absolute shit every time I get the chance to buy a Meyer lemon precisely because they’re small and less likely to go bad before I can use them up
Also I use key limes like regular limes for this reason. I don’t even care that they cost more. Throwing out rotten food annoys me so much that it’s worth it
huh. we have a tree of meyer lemons and they’re just as fucking huge as the ones on the right. also they just kinda hang out on the tree all year until they’re ready to use or fall off. like 6 months from ripe til dead. we are very lucky i don’t know what i’m gonna do when that tree needs replacement

the supplier to my grocery store might be picking them early and having them ripen in transit, or perhaps they just sell a smaller cultivar?
I’m thinking the first. I don’t know how long they last after picking. around here, five minutes.
