Limes
(Limes) Limes smaller than lemons, and are oval or round in shape having a diameter of one to two inches with green flesh and skin. They can be either sour or sweet depending on the variety; however, sweet limes are not readily available in the United States. Sour limes, which are depicted here, contain citric acid giving them an acidic and tart taste, while sweet limes lack citric acid and are sweeter in flavor. They are great for adding flavor to a wide variety of recipes, and can be used as a salad dressing. There are two general varieties of sour limes available, the Tahitian and the Key. Among Tahitian limes are the egg-shaped Persian and the smaller, seedless Bearss. Key limes, famous for the pie bearing their name, are smaller and more acidic than the Tahitian variety. Limes are originally from Southeast Asia and came to the Americas with Columbus in 1493. See the nutritional chart for limes below.
