| | Unwaxed Citrus - Where to find?
I'm looking for unwaxed (and organic) limes and lemons.
That said, all I can find are "organic" (bio), but not unwaxed.
Any idea where I can find unwaxed citrus fruits? I need to use the skin...

Try a proper bio shop rather than Migros or coop .
And if they don’t have them on the shelf any self respecting bio shop should be able to procure them .

I'm sorry, I don't have anything smart to add. But I misread the title as "Unvaxed Citrus" and  , how far have we come?

According to Coop personnel, (their?) Havelaar lemons are unwaxed. Given how squeaky they are I take that at face value.

I use Amalfi lemons ... a bit expensive, but worth it. You can get them at Globus grocery or during the season, at most larger Coops/Migros.
Bio shops are great too ... good luck!
