Lime
From Wikibooks, the
open-content textbooks collection
Limes
are sour green citrus fruit. Limes may be substituted for
lemons, and lime juice for lemon juice. The outermost
surface contains flavorful oils that may be scraped off
with a zester, serrated knife, or grater. As with other
citrus fruit, slices are often used to decorate drinks.
The common Persian
lime or Tahiti lime is a relatively small and
thin-skinned citrus fruit. The Bearss variety, a
type of Tahiti lime, is seedless and a bit smaller than
the Persian variety. The key lime, also known as
the Mexican lime or bartender's lime, is
much smaller and has an even thinner skin.
