Limes

Limes are citrus fruits known for their tangy, acidic flavor, often characterized by a zesty and slightly bitter profile. They are primarily sourced from tropical and subtropical regions, with Mexico being the largest producer, followed by nations like Brazil and the United States.

Limes are versatile ingredients, commonly used in beverages, marinades, and dressings. For optimal flavor release, roll the lime on a flat surface before slicing, and store unused portions in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Juice can be frozen for later use in recipes or cocktails.
