In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we take a look at Meyer lemons, which are so special that restaurants go out of their way to call them out on menus. Martha Stewart loves to bake with them. And yet, meyer lemons also have a fascinating and kinda tragic backstory. Tune in for a very fun episode about this very particular fruit. Our guest in this episode is Mandy Naglich, professional taster and author of “How To Taste”.
