Limes

Limes are small, green citrus fruits with a tart, refreshing flavor. They have a smooth or slightly textured rind and juicy, acidic flesh rich in vitamin C. Commonly used in cooking, beverages, and dressings, limes add a bright, zesty touch to both sweet and savory dishes. Their juice and zest enhance flavors, while their natural acidity serves as a preservative and tenderizer. Available year-round, they are a staple in kitchens worldwide.
