Meyer Lemons and Mexican Limes
 

My new crop of lemons and limes are unbelievably good. The Meyer lemons are
as big as big as oranges and very tender and juicy but my Mexican limes seem
to have identity issues. Yes, they're very tasty and juicy but when they
ripen, they turn a bright yellow like a lemon. When you cut them open,
they're green like they're supposed to be. Anyone know why this might be?

That's what they are supposed to do. Both regular limes and key limes
will ripen to a nice yellow color.

I completely disagree with the statement of that website regarding
bitterness in fully ripe limes. Nothing could be farther from the truth,
they actually turn a bit sweeter.

I thought that was kind of odd, too.
Every fruit that i know of gets sweeter as it ripens... apples, oranges, strawberries,
grapes, etc.
Up to a certain point, then they rot.
