About Limes, raw
The lime is the lemon's smaller, greener, often sharper cousin — the citrus at the heart of Mexican, Thai and Caribbean cooking, and of half the world's cocktails. Its juice and zest bring a tart, aromatic brightness distinct from lemon's.
Like other citrus it's a good source of vitamin C, with antioxidants and fragrant oils concentrated in the peel. Used by the squeeze rather than the slice, limes punch well above their modest calorie count.
From a wedge over tacos to the lime in a guacamole or a curry, it's one of those ingredients that quietly makes everything around it taste fresher — for next to nothing in calories.
