Resembling small green lemons, limes are often categorized as citrus fruits, and come in varieties like key lime, kaffir lime, wild lime, desert lime, and the most common type, Persian lime. They are commonly used in food and drink recipes for their zesty flavor and their pulp, juice, zest and leaves are often ingredients in a plethora of recipes around the world. From garnishing beverages and cocktails to adding a fresh tang to desserts and savory dishes, limes are a versatile and vital kitchen ingredient. Preparing limes involves washing, slicing, and sometimes zesting. They are rich in vitamin C and known for their health benefits including boosted immunity, improved digestion and skin health. As with other citrus fruits, lime is best stored at room temperature or refrigerated to maximize its shelf life.
