What is a "lime"?
A lime is a small, round citrus fruit known for its vibrant green color and tangy flavor. It has a thin, smooth skin that ranges from bright green to yellow-green when ripe. Limes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, offering both nutritional benefits and a zesty taste. They have a tart and slightly bitter flavor with a refreshing acidity, making them a popular ingredient in cooking, baking, and beverages. Limes are commonly used to add flavor and acidity to dishes like salads, marinades, and sauces, as well as in cocktails and refreshing beverages like limeade and margaritas.
