“Often a box of pomelos comes, too, as well as a type of orange or two. But it’s the Meyers that really get me. They’re certainly tart — but without the serious pucker of a standard lemon”
Photo: Emma Wartzman My mom often tries to convince me to move from New York back home to Los Angeles. To her credit, she does so subtly most of the time. But I have to say, never is she more successful at making me yearn for the other side of the country than when she sends me photos of California produce. “You, too, can have flawless avocados whenever you want,” she says without saying anything at all.
It also just so happens to be peak citrus season across the coast, a glorious time that simply does not exist here. Lemons and oranges abound, but so do finger limes, limequats, kumquats, Ojai Pixies, blood oranges, mandarins, yuzu, and more. My personal favorite is Meyer lemons.
Five pounds of Meyers comes out to about 25 pieces of fruit, give or take, piled together in a FedEx box. At $35 with no additional shipping cost, that’s less than $1.50 each. But it’s less about the deal than it is about the sheer joy of opening a big package of perfect citrus that reminds me of sunshine when it is 20 degrees outside and maybe snowing and definitely freezing.
