About Citron vert

Citron vert, commonly known as lime, is a small, vibrant green citrus fruit originating from South and Southeast Asia. Renowned for its tart, refreshing flavor, it is a staple ingredient in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Latin American, Indian, Thai, and Mediterranean dishes. Limes are rich in vitamin C, promoting immune health and aiding in collagen production. They also contain antioxidants that protect against cell damage and support heart health. Low in calories and free of fat or cholesterol, limes can enhance flavor without adding unhealthy ingredients, making them a healthy addition to beverages, salads, and marinades. However, their high acidity may affect dental enamel if consumed in excess. Additionally, some people may experience sensitivity to lime juice on the skin when exposed to sunlight. Overall, citron vert is a nutritious and versatile fruit that adds zest and nutrition to a variety of dishes and drinks.
