How I ranked blueberry waffles
I enjoyed a tasty breakfast full of blueberry waffles to see which were the best. Some were easier to distinguish from others, especially when it came to texture. The protein waffles tended to be a little bit denser and heavier than the standard versions.
The number of blueberries in each waffle was also quite different from brand to brand. The best options had plenty of blueberries, which added a sweeter taste overall. I also liked those that had deeper squares to hold syrup.
Finally, I looked at cost. Frozen waffles are an economical and convenient option for a quick breakfast in my household, so the best ones were those that were easy on the wallet while still remaining very tasty.
The true waffle connoisseurs in my house are my three kids and I couldn't do a frozen waffle taste test without getting their insight. They happily helped when it came time for the blind taste test, each choosing a favorite among the lineup. The store brand waffles rose to the top of everyone's list even when we didn't know which waffles we were trying and took cost out of it. When you consider that they are also some of the cheapest, it becomes easy to understand why those ended up at the top of the list.

Lisbon lemon
Starting off easy with the lemons we see piled high into pyramids at every grocery store: Lisbon lemons. These are what many of us think of as being the only lemon, or at least the most common one. It's basic and all-purpose โ what more could you want? According to Minneopa Orchards, the Lisbon lemon tree descended from Portugal before moving to Australia and was then introduced to farmers in California in 1950.

Eureka lemon
Eureka lemons are pretty interchangeable with Lisbon lemons, so they may be easily available at your local grocery store or farmers' market. When it comes to telling the two apart, Eureka lemons have a thicker skin that makes them better for providing zest in recipes. Monrovia writes that Eureka lemons also produce fruit year-round (which we love because the more lemons, the merrier). The flower color is white and the oblong leaves a deep green hue. But what sets Eureka lemons apart is the bronze-purple new growth they feature.

Meyer lemon
Perhaps the second most known lemon would be the Meyer lemon, which is technically a hybrid fruit and not a "true" lemon. Meyer lemons originated in China, according to NPR, where they were primarily used as a house plant. Now they're typically thought of concurrently with citrus-based desserts โ like this Meyer lemon souffle or a Meyer lemon custard cake โ thanks to them being on the sweeter side.

Bearss lemon
No, this is not a typo, Bearss lemons do have two "s's" in the name and are a real thing. They first originated in Italy but now grow across Europe, and they are slightly larger than a Lisbon lemon so it has more juice and skin to zest (saying "skin" just sounds wrong here, right?). If a Meyer lemon is too sweet for you, then a Bearss lemon might be a perfect choice. It's tart, and, according to Citrus.com, has more juice than other lemons its size.

Limetta lemon
Perhaps unsurprisingly given its name, Limetta lemons are sometimes green in color (via Citrus Variety Collection). Limetta lemons can also have very low acidity levels depending on which variety you get, so they are often also referred to as sweet lemons. If you're looking to distinguish a Limetta lemon from a "true" lemon like a Lisbon, focus on the leaves. The first will have leaves that are a bit oval with pointed ends, versus the latter which is primarily oblong.

Yen Ben lemon
Rigorously grown in various places including California and Australia, the Yen Ben lemon has a smooth rind to it and a high juice content. If we're going just by the look of the fruit, then not much seems different. Both the Lisbon lemon and Yen Ben lemon are oblong with short tapered ends with a vibrant yellow color to them that is simply unmistakable. Where things get different is the Yen Ben lemon tree. Perhaps because the trees are precocious, according to Citrus Variety, they look more bush-like when laden down with lemons. The leaves also appear darker in color and a bit thicker than the typical lemon tree.

Verna lemon
Verna lemons may have a distinctive sour taste, but they are often seen as similar to Lisbon lemons. However, if you take one quick look at any photo, you'll notice they seem a bit wider than a Lisbon. Verna lemons are of a Spanish variety and highly antioxidant, as most lemons are (via Campos de Azahar).

Kagzi lemon
Kagzi lemons are smaller in size and often harvested while the skin is still green, which means they're often mistaken for limes. But Kagzi lemons are actually lemons and ripen into a gorgeous light yellow color (via Shrigram Organics). This lemon is incredibly popular in India, with an impressive number of websites that sell Kagzi lemons or provide information. According to Aranyaani Food Forest, Kagzi lemons are in high demand in India because of their nutritional and medicinal value, as well as being relatively low in price. The tree is also easy to care for with a high fruit yield. Kagzi lemon plants require full sun exposure and well-drained soil to thrive.

Bush lemon
Now, these look a bit wild. Sure, it's interesting to read about similarly-looking lemons and their minute differences, but where things get really fun is with varieties like these Bush lemons. They're bumpy with thick skin and can look more orange than yellow, depending on the variety. They just look fun.
