Limes, 2 lbs.

Limes have a dark green skin that lightens as it ripens. They have a tart, acidic taste with a hint of sweetness. They're bright and vibrant, with a distinct zesty sour flavor. They have a bitterness that may make your mouth pucker if you eat too much at once. This is why the juice and zest is often used in recipes instead of the whole fruit. Though many people are familiar with bottled lime juice, using fresh limes can really make a difference in the flavor of your food and drinks. Luckily, limes are available in most markets year-round. To zest a lime, simply rinse and then use a microplane or grater to gently scrape off the green outer layer. Lime zest is commonly added to salad dressings and marinades. Alternatively, they can be sliced into halves or quarters and juiced by hand or with a juicer. This juice can be used in recipes or sprinkled over cooked food for added flavor. It is an unknown fact that limes have a high content of vitamin C, similar to other citrus fruits.
