I have now also received green lemons, the product picture is yellow, which confuses me.
I would freeze them and then defrost them when I need them.

Are they ripe now or what should I do?
Hello Maja876, thank you for your contribution. The peel color of citrus fruits is not indicative of fruit ripeness. In other words, green fruits can also be ripe.
Citrus fruits colour on the tree. To do this, they need both "cold" nights (approx. 10° C or less) and a temperature difference between day and night.
Our organic lemons currently come from Spain, where the temperature fluctuations between day and night are not so great as to fully develop the typical yellow color. In warmer regions, it can happen that lemons are still greenish even when ripe, as the temperatures are not sufficient to fully develop the typical yellow color. These lemons are nevertheless ripe and of high quality. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Can I rely on the fact that organic lemons have no wax layer or similar? I dry them and need them in hot tea. Thanks for the answer
Hello stoni, thank you for your question. No post-harvest treatments are permitted for organic citrus fruits. Organic products do not have a claim regarding post-harvest treatment, as they are always untreated. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
How is it that a layer comes off when peeling organic oranges?
Good Maja876, thank you for your contribution. We will be happy to follow up on your comment. For this we need a photo of the product label - it shows the article number, the lot number and the supplier details, which are important for further clarification. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
I asked about this two years ago and was told that it was quite logical that they were coated, otherwise they wouldn't even survive transportation and would arrive rotten. And I buy the oranges unpacked, so they don't have a batch number, etc.
Hello stoni, thank you for your question. Please excuse the misunderstanding. Most products are treated with wax. The corresponding products can be found in the stores with the following note: "suitable for cooking and baking". This can be found on the packaging or on the price tag on the display directly in the store. In principle, all products can be processed and eaten with the skin on without hesitation, as the post-harvest treatments, if used, comply with the strict regulations of Swiss food legislation and are therefore harmless to health.

Recently, the organic lemons were green on the outside, with thick skin and almost no juice. Why are such products sold at all?
Hello tkv, thank you for your tip, which we would like to follow up on. To enable us to identify the supplier, please send us a photo of the product label. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
On sale again today in Männedorf. It may be a special variety, but the fruit is still not usable.
Hello tkv, thank you for your additional information. The green peel has no influence on the quality of the lemon. The color is seasonal and the temperature has an influence. The peel only turns yellow with the autumn harvest. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
