Some of the citrus growers from the Greek Peloponnese who supply us with oranges, grapefruit and clementines also grow lemons. Their variety is called Interdonato, an aromatic mix of lemon and lime.

8 kilos is approximately 32-56 lemons. The numbers are so variable because the trees grow different sized fruits depending on their location and the weather, and we don't sort the fruits according to size.

- Use in dressings and dips and other savoury dishes like: Fermented Lemons, Indian Lemon Pickle.
- For baking: Lemon Meringue Pie, Candied Lemon Peel, Lemon and Pistachio Cake, or Lemon Popsicles.
- Or use them to make your own cleaner: All-Purpose Citrus Cleaner.

Stored in a cool place, lemons will keep for about four weeks. If you store the fruits on the balcony or terrace, protect them from frost with a blanket or in a polystyrene box. Check your lemons for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Eat these ones first. If you find mould, remove the affected fruits.
