FYI -- (I just learned this myself recently from a Hawaiian fruit grower): Most people don't know that limes turn yellow when they are ripe. Yellows have 10 times the flavor and juice. Consumers expect limes to be green and thus they are picked green. A Web search confirms that to be true, e.g.: http://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/solver/color.html (Yellow Limes and Green Lemons). - Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Does this mean it is then a lemon?? _____ No, to my knowledge there is no ripe green citrus fruit (other than perhaps some recent hybrid, though I am not aware of any). Limes and lemons are characterized by different shapes, skins, smells, tastes, etc. But both are ripe when fully yellow!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 No a lemon is a different fruit. We grow both in Bermuda in our garden. The lime's are much smaller and I don't see them turn yellow but now I'm gonna watch and see. I'll let y'all know, as I'm going down there this week.
