Lime

Limes are a small yet vibrant citrus fruit. They possess a zesty flavor that adds a refreshing twist to various dishes and drinks. They can be squeezed over seafood, added to sweet desserts like key lime pie, or enjoyed in a limeade. When purchasing limes, make sure the fruit is bright green, smooth to the touch, and feels heavy for its small size.

Limes also offer many health benefits. As a citrus fruit, limes are a great source of vitamin C. They help to support your immune system and have antioxidants that can help fight free radicals as well as keep our skin and bones healthy. Foods rich in vitamin C also help our bodies to absorb iron more efficiently.

Consider brightening up your day by adding zesty limes to your next dish!
