Those are quite small lemons. What the shops are selling over here are always larger, some very much so.

Eh, smaller fruit is generally more flavorful in my experience, the super huge stuff is usually bred to maximize size and shippability to increase profit margins, but are mostly water as a result.

You might be right, but so far even the big ones have had plenty of flavour. They are lemons, after all. That being said, I don't typically choose the largest fruits. I go for the average sized ones.

The really huge lemons are bred for their rind.
