What is Lemons?
Fresh lemons, bright-yellow thick-skinned citrus with tart, aromatic juice and fragrant zest. Sold by the count per carton (e.g. 95s, 115s, 140s), where the number is lemons per case, so 140s are smaller than 95s.
Everywhere in NYC kitchens: wedges for water, fish and bar service, fresh-squeezed lemonade, vinaigrettes and pan sauces, preserved lemons for Moroccan tagines, avgolemono in Greek spots, and zest for desserts and pasta. Both juice and zest carry flavor.

What's behind the price
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on lemons can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up (down about 29% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Spec your count to use: 140s for wedge/garnish portioning, larger 95s when you need juice yield. Buy firm, heavy, glossy fruit (heavier = juicier) and skip dull or hard-skinned lemons that squeeze dry.
