Pink Lemons
Look what I found in the grocery store! I bought an entire bag! Pink lemonade, anyone? So called
Pink Lemons were discovered on an ordinary
lemon tree in Burbank California in 1931. They are small, with a thin rind
that’s striped green and cream. As it ripens, the faint pink blush pulp turns
deeper pink. It has a tart, acidic lemony flavor with subtle floral and berry
undertones. While the pulp is indeed pink, the juices are not pink.
Occasionally, you may get a bit of a pink blush but it is not prominent.

These are very interesting, I have never seen them in the store here, not yet anyhow. Do you like the flavor better than a regular lemon?
I have never seen one of these over here, they look pretty.

Very interesting. I like lemons with thin rind. I have a few lemon plants but no flowers, no fruits for many years.
Well isn't that interesting. I'm assuming since they were found on an ordinary lemon tree that some kind of cross pollination happened whether it was on purpose or by accident
i did not know there is such a fruit. never seen or heard of them. we had a pink grapefruit tree. i love lemons and lemonade...they are even pretty in their skin.. the skin i mean.... lemons are so expensive here..
I had no idea!
I didn't know there was such a thing as a pink lemon. Thanks for the education.
Well, I Never!!! All news to me. The flesh is kinda watermwlon-y & the fruit looks like grapefruit.

I just love that!
I've never heard of or seen a pink lemon. I must keep my eyes open for these.
I wonder why it decided to go pink. In Burbank of all places....
I have never seen pink lemon before! Very unique looking with striped rind! It looks like pink grapefruit inside. I hope you enjoyed them :-)
I did not know they actually existed...another thing learned while blogging!
