Characteristics of citrus fruits of “original breed”
The genuine “quality” that exists only inside them but not on the surface.
Such fruit is safe to eat whole including its peel, and this property excels that of other fruits that only look and taste good only on the surface.
Our lemons are wonderful especially in their “quality” grown with our special attention to human health.
In comparison to similarly-sized ordinary lemons sold at supermarkets, every Nakayoshi-ya’s lemon of original breed is unique and different in size: some are as large as two times of ordinary ones.
The varied sizes are the hallmark of Nakayoshi-ya’s lemon of “original breed.”
Three features that we, Nakayoshi-ya regard particularly important about our lemons:
- Nakayoshi-ya’s lemons of “original breed” are as large as almost two times bigger than the lemons produced and classified as “3L size (6.8cm or larger in diameter)” in Japan.
- Nakayoshi-ya’s lemons are not just big but taste so great.
- You can eat up our whole lemons even their peel: We always stick to the lemon nursery trees of original breed without any improvements, and we grow them on the futile soil of high nutritional value.
“Lemon of original breed - early harvest” (November)
With its peel and pulp greener, the nice-smelling lemon has a punchy acidity.
We recommend this lemon to restaurants and the like that put importance on lemon’s acidity.
“Lemon of original breed - late harvest” (March to April)
Vivid yellow color and powerful and fascinating “smell” are the major features of this lemon.
Many other producers harvest lemons when they are still young and store them for a few months before shipping. On the other hand we grow our lemons to let them mature on the tree and harvest them later at their prime. Because of that the solid acidity of this lemon lasts long after harvest, and they “smell” so good and completely different from any other lemons.
You will be surprised by their gigantic size, almost two times of ordinary lemons. You will also realize their solid weight because of its juicy pulp unlike many other hollow ones.
