1.   A good lemon has no bumps on its skin and feels heavy with juice.

2.   Cut lemons into eighths, but do not cut all the way through, so the lemon has eight sections but is held together at the base.

3.   My lemons do not have zest.

4.   The lemon has a short growing season and because of its thin skin does not ship well.

5.   The lemon should have a green button on the stem end.

6.   Today, the lemon has a dedicated following.

7.   Unlike an orange, which can have dozens of flavors, depending on the variety, the lemon has just one reliable note that sticks firmly in their minds.
