A lime wedge is a small slice of lime, typically cut from the citrus fruit, which is native to Southeast Asia but widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Packed with vitamin C, lime wedges are a natural antioxidant that supports immune health, skin nourishment, and iron absorption. They provide a burst of tangy, acidic flavor and are commonly used to enhance dishes in Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines or to garnish drinks and seafood. Lime wedges are low in calories, fat-free, and offer trace amounts of potassium and other micronutrients. Their acidity aids in digestion and may help balance pH levels. However, excessive consumption can lead to enamel erosion due to their citric acid content, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. Whether squeezed over food or used as a zesty garnish, lime wedges add both flavor and nutritional benefits to your diet.
