About Small lime

Small limes, also known as key limes or Mexican limes, are citrus fruits renowned for their tangy flavor and vibrant aroma. Typically smaller and more tart than regular limes, their thin, green-yellow skin makes them distinct. Rich in vitamin C, small limes are excellent for boosting immunity, supporting collagen production, and aiding in iron absorption. They also contain antioxidants and small amounts of essential nutrients like potassium and folate. Originating from Southeast Asia and widely used in Mexican, Caribbean, and Southeast Asian cuisines, small limes enhance dishes, beverages, and desserts, such as key lime pie. They can also aid digestion and hydration when added to water. However, due to their acidity, excessive consumption may irritate teeth enamel or cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Perfect for flavoring, small limes bring zest and health benefits to meals when consumed in moderation.
