extremely fresh and perfect size for juicing
September 22, 2008
I ordered these lemons and was worried they would not be as fresh after the delivery time specified. Getting them a few weeks ago was a little cheaper but fresh produce in September is costly. I was elated when they arrived just days after my order. Doing a juicing fast, I thankfully found that though these lemons were smaller than the ones I got at the market-they were clearly much fresher. Only a few greenish ones but anyone knows the color of the rind is not as important as the fruit inside. While visiting other countries I have always found that fruit does not look the same as in the states but is ever so much tastier! I liked that they are natural. While on the fast it was important to get accurate juice measurements and these small lemons eliminated the need for a tablespoon and refridgerator to store unused cut lemons in. Yeah!
I would hesitate to recommend this product to others. The only way I could see to improve the transaction is the packaging. Bon appetit!
~ Too many green lemons... varying quality each shipment ~

Have ordered from this seller 4 times. The first shipment was through this add last April & 1/3rd of the lemons were green. Lots of green, not just a small green mark. As we need these for the Master Cleanser, the green ones are useless to my wife & I.
After carefully communicating this to the seller & having arranged for even larger shipments (i.e.- full produce boxes of 30-32 pounds each) the green ones keep coming... again & again & again, literally. Green lemons are not like bananas: they will NOT ripen once picked. Powerfully frustrating stuff, seeing we've spend so much time on the phone as well as through many extensive emails to communicate our needs.
The quality has varied as well. The 32 pounds we received a week ago were largely of excellent quality, except for the green ones, & were nice size too. The ones we got yesterday (7-17-08) had been overpacked (an attempt to make up for all the ones we could not use from the last 3 shipments? Dunno... poor communications) As a result, there were several lemons that were crushed to being split open. Many were squashed & soft. Many were teeny-tiny. Most were bruised... & a full 1/3rd were green again, & this after stressing over & over that we are not able to make use of the green ones.
This guy just doesn't get it. He's a good man who is simply way too busy with other things to be of dependable service imo. After giving him 4 chances, we now choose to not do further business with this gentleman.
Better than from the grocery store

These lemons arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Excellent for slicing to use in your drinks, and for garnishing your meals. These were much more reasonably priced than anything in our grocery store and were a far better quality. We will be reordering more.
Good lemons

There were a lot of lemons in this box. They were a good mix of green and ripe. I've been using them for a month and haven't had any spoil yet. I will order these again.
Overall good price for product, especially during winter

The lemons were a bit smaller than I'd expected - the box was about a 12-inch square box. These definitely aren't the really big lemons you'd pick up in the grocery store, but when you have to pay $.60 or more for just one lemon at the local grocery store here like I do, this is still a great price. The lemons are all fully ripe and look great. I could smell them before I even opened the box. Overall, a good price for the product and shipping fees included.
