Description: Variegated with green and off white stripes on the rind. Flesh is a rose-hued pink. As fruit matures, the stripes fade and the color of the pink flesh intensifies. The term "pink lemon" refers to the inside color, although it appears more or less the same color as the inside of a grapefruit.
More Info: Also called the variegated Eureka, or pink-fleshed Eureka lemon. A cultivar of lemon (Citrus × limon) with unique pink flesh and variegated foliage. Another name is Zebra lemon, an obvious homage to their stripes. Pink lemons have a tangy and tart flavor, as well as a rich lemon scent. The green and white leaves are highly fragrant, and are considered the most fragrant among lemon trees. Pink lemons become less acidic with age and offer a sweeter flavor than common lemons. Best suited for their juice and zest, however the juice is not as colorful as the pink citrus segments.
