Anyone see any lemons around recently besides Rimping?

Makro

 

This is now becoming one of the most popular and boring questions, is everyone turning into poncie western chefs

Makro sell them

 

Central festival 39 baht each

They are all over.....for a lot less than 39 Baht each.

Tesco, Macro and Big C have them here.  Never see any at the markets though.

Is there any benefits to taking lemons that Thai limes don't have?

 

Why buy? Wife grows em. Spanish lemons.

Not really significant on the volumes that most people would consume. Limes are less costly, and although lemons contain a slightly higher vitamin and antioxidant level, it's probably not worth paying the extra - unless of course you often utilise the lemon skin in your cooking..

They do have distinctly different flavors, if that matters to you.

Lemons have roughly twice the Vitamin C content of limes and a higher amount of Vitamin B6 and B9.
Limes have a “bitter sweet” flavor while lemons are sour. Limes have roughly twice the vitamin A content of lemons.

Thanks for the excellent answer.

 

But unfortunately, lemon is also much more expensive than lime so eating three limes would be equivalent to eating one lemon?

equivalent cost?

equivalent Vitamine C?

equivalent Vitamine A B6 or B9?

equivalent flavor satisfaction?

 
.... so eating three limes would be equivalent to eating one lemon?
 
 

Have you ever seen anyone eat three limes or a lemon?

Rather unusual? I’ve never seen it.
