Learn Your Limes Part 1

A squeeze of lime has virtually no calories, and brings a delicious accent to foods and vegetables. Whether in soft drinks, cocktails (where would the caipirinha, gin and tonic, margarita, mojito, and tequila shot be without lime?) or desserts (Key lime pie, made from the juice of the Key lime, is one of America’s favorite pies), limes are a popular ingredient in many foods.

There are numerous varieties, but in the US, we typically see only two, the Persian or Tahitian lime and the Key or Mexican lime.

This week, part one of a look at limes.
