rafhell: What the difference between lime and lemon

Lime is almost always yellow with a smooth skin while lemon is green with coarse skin. That's the visual difference for the local variety (imported once look alike and are sold in big super markets, bigger and expensive). if you ar still not sure of the difference just go to the market & see things for yourself.

Two different citric fruits. I'm sure you've had oranges several times, lemon is different.

Orange is sweet, lemon is sour.

Where can I get to buy lemon in Lagos ohhhhh, I only see Oranges and Lime

Folks still confuse Lime n Lemon 2gether. Lime is common. U c it with market women, even dey hawks it on D Street at times.
l also see some women squeezing the juice out of lime into a small bottle for sale. Lime is also good as cough syrup wen mix with pure honey for children.
But lemon is somewhat rare. l hardly see it. When l do, its usually in a position where l can’t get it.
Is there any1 out there who knows where one can get the fresh local ones, not the "fertilizer zed" imported ones at Shoprite and other malls.
