Dear customers, please note that BIO lemons are grown without chemical treatment and are therefore more susceptible to surface and appearance defects on the surface of the fruit. These unsightly defects do not affect the taste and quality of the product. This is only a visual problem, which is completely common with BIO foods and should not be a reason for a complaint. Thank you for your understanding.
