Limes are a sour citrus fruit used as a flavour component for cooking via its juice or zest, however they are also common in beverages such as cocktails. They have a variety of uses from sauces, marinades, salad dressings, to desserts.
When selecting a juicy lime, look for a slighty soft, smooth, heavy, and fragrant lime. It is best to roll limes firmly on the table to extract the most juice. They can remain at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, and in the fridge for up to 1 month.
