Lime

Lime is a citrus fruit characterized by its tart, tangy flavor and vibrant green color. Primarily grown in tropical and subtropical regions, such as Mexico, Florida, and Southeast Asia, limes are commonly used in culinary applications worldwide for their refreshing acidity and aroma.

To maximize the flavor of lime, use it fresh in drinks, dressings, or marinades. The zest can add a burst of citrus aroma to baked goods. For optimal juicing, roll the lime on a countertop before cutting to release more juice. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
