Accent The Flavor!

Limes are a sprightly addition to mixed drinks, marinades, baked treats, savory dishes, and condiments. Limes are an easy addition that can take your plate from ordinary to extraordinary. Pair lime with your favorite grilled protein, blend into a smoothie for a tangy kick, or squeeze into a fresh batch of guacamole.

 

Frequently Asked Questions


What’s the secret to selecting the juiciest lime?

Choose bright, smooth limes that are firm and heavy for their size – this indicates that the fruit is juicy. The juiciest limes will give slightly when squeezed.

 

How should I store my organic limes to maximize freshness?

Refrigerate limes in a plastic bag. Whole, they can be stored for up to 10 days; once cut, they can store for five days.

 

How much juice is in each lime?

Expect a medium-sized lime to yield about 2 tablespoons of juice. To maximize the amount you get, bring the fruit to room temperature and roll it under your palm to break down the cells inside that hold liquid. Or, you can microwave the lime for 20 seconds to get the juices flowing.

 

What are some ways I can use lime juice?

Juice now, use later. Pour fresh-squeezed lime juice in ice cube trays, freeze, and then transfer the cubes into plastic bags and store in your freezer.
