Avalon lemons
Avalon lemons are also called "Avon lemons" which means, either way that you look them up, it's nearly impossible to find information that isn't about a skincare or makeup product. Nonetheless, the photos really show us a lot. Avalon lemons are knobby โ again reminiscent of certain gourds in the fall. They seem to ripen from an earthy green to a bright yellow, the color moving from the pointed side connected to the tree's branch to the bottom half. |

Greek Citron
The Greek Citron lemon is a spectacle to look at. They are large and tapered to a point at one end. When unripened, they're a light green color โ combined with its shape, the Greek Citron looks almost avocado-like until it ripens. We primarily see Greek Citrons prepared as candies to eat alongside your coffee or baked into fruit cakes for a fun and bright yet chewy bite (via Olive Tomato). |

Lapithkiotiki lemon
These lemons have some scientific interest behind them. They are a Greek variety, primarily originating in Cyprus, and are extremely important to the local ecosystem (via Cyprus Embassy Trade Center of New York). In fact, citrus production is a huge part of Cyprus's agriculture. Lemons with a thin skin yet high juice content were historically sought after, so Cyprus decided to supply them themselves over the winter and spring seasons. |

Dorshapo lemon
This lemon is another popular variety in India, however, it was first discovered in Brazil in 1914. The Dorshapo lemon is named after the three researchers who found it โ thus the rather unusual name. According to India Mart, the Dorshapo lemon is basically a mix of a lemon and Limetta. It is very low in acid, which gives the fruit its sweetness. Dorshapo lemons are also totally edible, and often used to make delicious juices with rind and all. |
