🍋 Why Are Meyer Lemons Green?

Meyer lemons stay green when the weather hasn’t been cold enough — specifically, the nights haven’t dropped to the low temperatures needed to trigger that bright golden-yellow color. It’s not about being unripe in the usual sense, it’s more about climate and pigmentation.

• Cooler nights = yellow fruit
  The cold triggers the natural breakdown of chlorophyll (the green pigment), revealing the yellow color underneath.

• Warm nights = stay green
  If the season’s been mild, the lemons may stay green-skinned, even if they’re fully ripe inside — juicy, sweet, and aromatic.

So green Meyer lemons can still be perfectly mature, they just haven’t had the weather to dress up in yellow.
