About Limes

Limes are small, vibrant green citrus fruits known for their tangy flavor and refreshing aroma. Native to Southeast Asia, limes are a key ingredient in many global cuisines, including Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Caribbean dishes, where they enhance flavors and balance rich or spicy notes. Packed with vitamin C, limes support immune health, promote collagen production, and act as powerful antioxidants. They also contain trace amounts of potassium, calcium, and magnesium, contributing to heart and bone health. Low in calories, limes are a healthy choice for adding flavor without adding fat or sugar. Lime juice is commonly used in drinks, marinades, and dressings, while zest provides an aromatic accent to baked goods and desserts. While limes are highly nutritious, their high acidity can erode tooth enamel if consumed frequently in undiluted form, so moderation is recommended.
