Also known as the “variegated pink lemon” or the “variegated Eureka lemon” due to its splotchy, colorful foliage, this unique citrus was discovered in 1930 in Burbank, California. At the time, the growers weren’t trying to cultivate pink lemons. These lush citrus fruits were a result of a spontaneous mutation on a Eureka lemon tree. The pink lemon’s flesh contains a high concentration of lycopene, an antioxidant that gives many fruits and vegetables their red pigment. Pink grapefruit and tomatoes also get their ruby hues from lycopene. The flavor is very similar to a regular Eureka lemon.

Miami, FL

Nearly a decade ago, Miami began selling fruit at local farmers' markets, initially using a bicycle to pick up produce from nearby farms. As demand grew, Miami Fruit expanded, transitioning to car and van transport.

By 2016, prompted by requests from Facebook friends nationwide, Miami teamed up with partner Edelle Schlegel to establish Miami Fruit officially. Today, they collaborate with numerous local growers and operate their own seven-acre farm. The fruit they source usually ships the day after it’s picked, and it’s oftentimes fruit that simply can’t be found outside of the Tropics.
