Lime

Lime is round, bright green to yellow colored citrus fruit, very similar in shape, taste and properties to lemon. Limes are usually smaller in size than lemons, around 3-6 cm in diameter. They are widely used for their zest and juice in drinks, garnishing and cooking. Typical drinks and coctails that use the juice of lime fruits are limeade, gin and tonic and margarita. In cooking, limes are used for their acidity of their juice as well as the aroma of their zest.
