So cute and the baby of the citrus family, limes are full of vitamin C and used to add flavor and zest to soups, salads, vegetables, fish, and of course your favorite key lime pie recipe. Add a slice and twist of lime to your favorite drink or use them in a vase for an added splash of color in your home.
Limes came to the United States from Spain in the 16th century and were first planted in the Florida Keys where they became known as “Key Limes". Enjoyed for their refreshing flavor and pretty green color, limes are a year round kitchen staple. Did you know that limes can be used to clean your copper pans and cutting boards too?
Storage: Store limes in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or at room temperature away from sunlight for up to one week.
