New tiger lemon

Pink Tiger lemons will launch exclusively in M&S

Marks and Spencer is set to launch new striped lemon variety Pink Tiger from citrus supplierMuñoz.

Grown in Spain, the lemons are slightly larger than usual, with pink flesh and green and yellow striped skin.

M&S agronomist and fruit expert Andrew Mellonie said: “Its flesh is more aromatic and perfumed standard lemon varieties and this together with its bizarre appearance make it perfect for inclusion drinks and cocktails. They are amazing in a gin and tonic.”

First discovered in California, Pink Tiger lemons are grown year-round in southern Spain, which benefits from over 300 days of sun a year.
